Our Mission
At The Jon Herndon Foundation, our mission is simple yet profound: to support cancer patients and their families during one of the most challenging times of their lives. Through fundraising efforts and community support, we aim to provide financial relief to individuals grappling with the high costs associated with cancer treatments. We believe that no one should have to choose between their health and financial stability, and we're committed to making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
Who is Jon Herndon
Our foundation was founded to honor Jon Herndon; a husband, father, brother, friend, and Pops. Jon was originally diagnosed with colon cancer in 2018. After a year of battling he was shown to be in remission. However four years later his cancer returned. After a very courageous battle he was unable to overcome how quickly his cancer had spread and Jon's life was tragically cut short due to cancer. During his ongoing battle, his hard-working character and strong love for his family's wellness wouldn't allow him to quit providing even as he was going through chemotherapy treatments and working his labor-intensive job...Continue Jon's Story here

Why it Matters
Cancer not only takes a toll on one's physical health but also on their financial well-being. Many individuals undergoing cancer treatment face mounting medical bills and loss of income, making it difficult to meet everyday expenses. At The Jon Herndon Foundation, we strive to bridge this gap by offering financial assistance to cover essential needs such as utility bills, housing expenses, and transportation costs. By supporting those in need, we hope to ease the burden and provide a glimmer of hope during a challenging time.
