Jacie’s Kids is a Long Island based charity focused on doing a world of good for Long Island children with cancer and their families. Founded in 2002 by Jacie Capuano, the charity began as a loving outreach from one cancer patient to another. While in the hospital for her own treatment for cancer, Jacie looked beyond her struggle to interact with children suffering from the same disease. In them she saw the hope and beauty of their spirit, and dedicated this charity and her life’s work to trying to make the world a little brighter for local children fighting cancer right here on Long Island.
Over the years, the charity has grown and now together with its Board Members continues on in Jacie’s honor, looking to make a difference to some of Long Island’s bravest and youngest souls as they undergo treatment on the way to a cure. We know that charity begins at home. We are looking for people with big hearts, that want to make a difference, in our own Long Island backyard.
