WHY THE 'JIMMY JACK FOUNDATION?'

In Honor of Jimmy Jack's MOM, Jimmy Lou O'Brien Jones. She passed away at the age of 93 in 2021. Without her there would be no JIMMY JACK FOUNDATION.

Why Jimmy Jack Whitaker (CEO and Founder) Started the Foundation

  

"I was six years old when I watched my father drive out of my life. My mother worked hard as a single parent to keep me, my brother, and my sister together for the next eight years. 


When I started the fourth grade, I wanted to learn to play the violin. We didn't have much, but my mother always made sure I had both private lessons and an instrument to play. The sacrifices she made built the musical foundation for the rest of my life.


For many years, I gave my own musical instruments away to children, who had no way of purchasing them without help. I didn't understand why, then. I do now. I was simply trying to give back to less fortunate children.


I have surrounded myself with like-minded musicians and businessmen and businesswomen, and I am looking for people who want to partner with the Jimmy Jack Foundation in helping children reach their musical dreams." No one is on salary. everything is Voluntary.
