Golf Tournament Registration

It is time once again to start thinking about our next upcoming event, our 6th Annual Golf Tournament, which will be held on Friday, August 2, 2024 at the Passaconaway Country Club in Litchfield, NH. Just as last year, we will again be hosting both morning and afternoon flights to accommodate our growing number of players and sponsors. If interested in this year’s event, we ask that you please review our player registration & sponsorship opportunities, and coordinate with a Jenny Fund team member to reserve your selection for this year’s event. Note that if you are a returning golf team, your flight (morning or afternoon) will be reserved unless otherwise notified by a Jenny Fund team member. Likewise, if you are a returning sponsor, your sponsorship level will be reserved unless otherwise notified. Payment will be made available following your confirmation with a Jenny Fund team member. Be sure to follow our website for tournament updates. We hope to see you in August, and we know that this event will again surpass our fundraising expectations!

Massachusetts General Hospital Donation

The Jenny Fund recently presented its yearly donation to Massachusetts General Hospital in the sum of $70,024. For the first time, we gave a donation of $20,000 to the Choi Research Fund. We also gave our continuing donation to the William Curry Research Fund in the sum of $50,024. Dr. Bryan Choi is on Dr. William Curry's surgery team and works with Dr. Curry to find new treatments for brain tumor patients. Many of you have heard Dr. Curry and Dr. Choi speak at our annual Jenny Fund Classic held each year in August and have seen them both out on the course each year.

Thank you to all our supporters, It is because of you that the Jenny Fund is able to make these donations each and every year!

Brain Tumor Research Update

This article is dedicated to Jen Gureckis and all she did during her lifetime for brain cancer research at MGH and to her parents, John and Sandi Gureckis, her brother John Gureckis III, Chairman of the Jenny Fund, and her sister, Heather Gureckis Mucci, who are keeping Jen's dreams alive that a cure would be found one day to help others faced with the same diagnosis she had. Their determination is the backbone of the success of the Jenny Fund non profit organization.

We lost a great one.

Adam C. Gureckis Jr

Uncle Adam was essential to the Jenny Fund’s success. He fought cancer with the same tenacity as his niece Jen. Cancer is a devastating disease and has taken far too many. After Jen passed, Uncle Adam asked to help make the Jenny Fund successful. His relationships with the Nashua community were critical to Jenny Fund supporting youth basketball camps and the Annual Jenny Fund Golf Tournament. He is an integral part of the Jenny Fund team and the donations of $250,000 to cancer research and youth community programs. When we launched the Jenny Fund, he advocated to start a golf tournament. In 2019, we held our first golf tournament and it was a huge hit. We had teams filled within the first 3 days because of his determination to make it a success. We raised almost $35,000 dollars that first year and it has grown year over year since, raising $50,000 in 2021. Uncle Adam will be deeply missed. He loved raising money for Jenny’s cause and his cancer diagnoses only made him more determined to help.

We’re celebrating a lot of success over the years!

Here’s a look back at our donation history, totaling $250,000!

In 2021, we made our third donation totaling $100,000 to Dr. Curry’s Translational Brain Tumor Immunology Lab at MGH, our largest-ever contribution!
In 2019, we made our second donation of $70,000 to Dr. Curry’s Research Lab

Our Events and Programs

Basketball Clinics

Get out side and enjoy the month of June. We do basketball clinics each Saturday at the Nashua Ledge Street Outdoor Basketball Courts. Kids age 6-10 are welcome to come out and best of all it is Free!

We are also actively working to expand our basketball program beyond NH borders to the Boston, MA area, and are hopeful that we can host our first basketball camp with Boston PAL this fall.

Golf Tournament

Last year was our third annual golf tournament. We had an amazing turn out and raised over $50,000 that helped us be successful in donating $100,000 to the Translational Brain Tumor Immunology Lab.
