As someone who has volunteered with the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact this organization has on families. Their mission—to support those tackling childhood cancer—is close to my heart. I’m proud to help spread the word about their upcoming 30th annual Celebrity Golf Classic, happening May 18–19, 2025.

Inspired by Jay. Built to Be There.

The Jay Fund began with a promise. In 1992, Coach Tom Coughlin was head football coach at Boston College when one of his players, Jay McGillis, was diagnosed with leukemia. Coughlin stood by Jay and his family through his seven-month fight, witnessing the immense emotional and financial toll.

Jay passed away on July 3, 1992. His spirit, strength, and compassion inspired Coughlin to create a foundation that would “Be There” for other families in the same situation.

The first Celebrity Golf Classic was held in May 1996. It was a huge success and helped the fund expand to support families dealing with all forms of pediatric cancer. In 2014, the event raised more than $515,000 in just one weekend.

Over $32 Million in Support and Still Growing

Now, 30 years later, the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund has provided over $32 million in financial, emotional, and practical support to more than 6,700 families across Northeast Florida and the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan Area. That’s a legacy worth celebrating—and continuing.

This year’s event takes place at the world-famous TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and they come with the chance to:

• Play on an iconic course
• Mingle with local and national celebrities
• Directly help families facing childhood cancer

Be Part of Something Meaningful

The Jay Fund’s mission is clear: to let families focus on what matters most—their child’s well-being. Your involvement—whether as a sponsor, donor, or advocate—can make a real difference.

Let’s honor Jay’s legacy and keep Coach Coughlin’s promise alive. Join us this May.

Per Art Stapelton
@drc_41 flew up from Florida to be here for @TheHumble_21 game. Says he’s been getting plenty of calls from prospective teams. Jokes – kind of – about being happy to miss OTAs.

I told DRC we missed him on the #Giants beat.
His response with a classic DRC smile: “Y’all might see me again.”

Often “Good Press” goes un-noticed. We all tend to focus on the flashy or controversial stories that grab headlines. Thousands of professional football players give back to their communities every day. I want to give a voice to those charities and good efforts. Below is “Tom Coughlin Jay Fund” which was founded in 1996.

In Honor of Jay McGillis

The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation was created in 1996 in honor of Jay McGillis.  Jay was a special young man who developed leukemia while a member of Coach Coughlin’s team at Boston College. In the eight months between Jay’s diagnosis and the day he lost his battle with cancer, the Coughlin family saw first hand the physical, emotional and financial strains the illness caused the McGillis Family. After going through the tragic events with Jay’s family, Coach Coughlin vowed that if he ever had the chance, he would create a way to help families with children battling cancer.

Coach Coughlin kept his vow and started a foundation to BE THERE in Jay’s honor. Since then the Jay Fund has evolved in size and scope helping thousands of families in Northeast Florida and the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan Area who are fighting childhood cancer.

We would love to hear your stories. Please feel free to contact us so we can share them.
