2023 Jaime Whelan Foundation Fundraising Update

Dear Friends and Family,
We are excited about our 16th annual fundraiser honoring Jaime’s legacy. This years event will be on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023 from 2-6 p.m. at JJ Coopers in Long Beach, NY. We hope you will help us make this the most successful fundraiser in JWF history! If you have never been to the fundraiser or haven’t come as consistently over the past few years as you’d like, we encourage you to make the extra effort to join us this year for what is sure to be the best fundraiser yet! As always, the fundraiser will be an opportunity for us to celebrate Jaime’s life and raise the money needed to continue the tradition of the Jaime Whelan Foundation Scholarship Program.

In an effort to raise money so that we can continue to provide annual scholarships and other financial aid to families in need, we intend to host an online raffle and auction this fall instead. Although we will not be reaching out individually to past donors to ask for donations during this uncertain time, we still welcome any and all donations. If you are interested in contributing something to be used in a raffle or auction package, please let us know by replying to this email or reaching out to us on Instagram or Facebook.

Jim, Sue, James, Alexis, Claire, Gavin, Joe, Christy, Maggie, and Jack Whelan

JWF: Helping support the recovery efforts of Brendan Wagner

We are proud to announce that the Jaime Whelan Foundation is donating $10,000 to support the recovery efforts of Brendan Wagner.

Brendan is a fellow Long Beach Catholic School alum who was involved in a terrible car accident in December 2013, which caused a severe spinal cord injury and stroke resulting in paralysis from the neck down. Brendan is unable to breathe on his own and therefore relies heavily on electricity to power the machines that help him breathe. He is currently in a rehabilitation facility in NYC but his family is doing all they can to get him to his home to continue his recovery. The JWF’s $10,000 donation will be used to equip Brendan’s house with a generator, which will ensure consistent operation of those life-saving machines in all circumstances.

For more information on how you can help Brendan please visit his website at www.brendanwagner.com
