For many families in the United States, it is more difficult now to stay afloat than it has been in years. Providing basic necessities, paying for basic bills and attempting to save for a rainy day is darn-near impossible for some people; trying to also support creative hobbies and experiences for children is becoming more and more unrealistic.

With organizations like the Jimmy Jack Foundation, children can tune-in to their natural musical abilities like singing, dancing, playing instruments, creating artwork, etc. Thanks to donations and fundraisers, families don't have to worry about paying for anything.

Since the start, the Jimmy Jack Foundation has donated hundreds of instruments, provided numerous lessons for all variations of performing and continues to do so 8 years later. While changing lives for the better, the foundation has also been responsible for giving children one-in-a-lifetime opportunities before unexpectedly passing away.

Started back in 2016, founder Jimmy Jack Whitaker came back to his hometown of Snyder with the idea to change lives for the better. After decades of performing and writing music alongside iconic artists, he wanted to pass along all of what he learned and more to those who wanted to know.

Although his focus originally started with musician-related opportunities, his foundation has since extended to academic benefits as well, including numerous scholarship opportunities for the right kiddos.

For anyone wanting to get involved in the Jimmy Jack Foundation, you can donate funds, musical instruments and other opportunities for children throughout Oklahoma. Contact Jimmy Jack and the Board via the website.
