In 2008 The JAKE Foundation was formed as the charitable division of Jake, Connor & Crew Inc. A portion of all profits from Jake, Connor & Crew along with donations from our company's principal shareholders enables us to focus our attention on giving to those who most need it. The JAKE Foundation is dedicated to supporting animal and children's causes worldwide and in our own community. Thank you to our customers around the globe who, by buying our products, enable us to help others.
We are proud to be recognized by UNICEF, The Red Cross, and other local and international charities and animal welfare societies for the support we provide to them.
It is wonderful to be able to assist many non-for-profit organizations and knowing that our continued support truly does make a difference. As the charities extend their appreciation and gratitude to Jake, Connor & Crew, we want to also include and thank our customers who make it possible for us to continue these generous donations. By providing quotes from letters of our various charities we hope our customers receive the genuine 'thank you' that is so rewarding.

St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility anywhere. Discoveries made here have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Jake, Connor & Crew generously donates a portion of their profits to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude's is where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do more science, more quickly. Where doctors across the world send their toughest cases and most vulnerable patients. Where no one pays for treatment beyond what is covered by insurance and those without insurance are never asked to pay. They have built America's 3rd-largest health-care charity, with a model that keeps the costs down and the funds flowing, so the science never stops.
All patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family's ability to pay.
