A surprise $10,000 donation from Lapointe Insurance, made possible through the Liberty Mutual and Safeco Make More Happen Award, is helping Friends of Jack continue critical programs like Child Life Specialists and Superhero Bears. This story is a powerful reminder of how community support can transform children's hospital experiences across the South Coast.

Despite stormy weather, the 2025 Big Game Battle in Nantucket raised an incredible $125,000 for the Friends of Jack Foundation. United by community and cause, boat crews, sponsors, and supporters showed just how powerful generosity can be in making a real impact on children’s health and well-being across the South Coast.

The Hero In Us, Friends of Jack’s heartfelt short film about Jack Fearons’ real-life superhero journey, made its national debut at San Diego Comic-Con. Selected from over 1,000 submissions, the film powerfully blends animation and live-action to share a story of resilience, love, and discovering one’s true superpower—now told on a national stage.

The Friends of Jack Foundation was honored with the Best in Show award at the 2025 Marion Independence Day Parade—its fourth win in six years—celebrating its ongoing commitment to children's health and community impact in the SouthCoast.
