The Lori Jones Children’s Pediatric Grant Program provides financial support to children with cancer and their families, living in CO.
We believe that no parent should have to choose between paying their mortgage or rent over cancer treatment for their child.
Our goal is to help ease the burden of everyday expenses during their most trying time.
As the Family Hope partner we want to showcase our efforts to help Colorado nonprofits serving children of all ages in crucial and life-changing ways. For 65 years, Ent has supported philanthropic efforts of the many nonprofits in the communities we serve across the state of Colorado.
Lori Macinnes Jones was a loving mother. wife. and passionate educator who died on February 1. 2017. She was 57.
Although Lori fought cancer, or the effects of her treatments. over most of her adult life. few recognized it.Her happiness and joy for each day touched so many, and the strength and determination of her fight was truly inspirational.
