Our Founder
Gina Caruso
jc taught me what is important in life. He was a fighter. When battling his cancer, he never complained or felt sorry for himself. He attacked each day head on with everything he had in him. He believed in those who were treating him and he remained positive through it all. Watching my hero in life become so frail was heartbreaking. This man taught me everything. He was selfless. He was humble.
This is how the jc memorial foundation came to fruition. I knew in my heart, helping others who are also fighting cancer is the best way to honor him. I want to celebrate him by giving back to others, allowing him to live on in the work we do.
