The Kevin Dare Foundation and its Life...Back on Track program will help these students by providing the necessary funds via scholarship to the college or university of their choice. Kevin's life exemplified a legacy of integrity, inspiration and indomitable spirit. With that, we are inspired to help students who exhibit the courage, strength and fortitude to rise above their personal challenges with determination to achieve their dreams!
THE JARED BOX PROJECT
The Jared Box Project was started on 2001 by the children of Our Lady of Victory School in State College, PA, to honor their classmate and friend, Jared. He was a brave little boy who battled cancer with the courage and faith that continues to inspire us all. Boxes filled with the "gift of play" are given to young patients in emergency rooms, hospital rooms, surgical centers and clinics. Toys, games, puzzles and stuffed animals provide the children with well wishes, hope and love.
