Coughlins Honored for Cancer Fund

0:00On March 27, Tom Coughlin, the former New York Giants head coach, who won two Super Bowls, and his daughter Kelly Coughlin Joyce will receive the President's Medallion at the 2026 One Jack's Humanitarian Awards. The event takes place on April 30 in Jacksonville, Florida. This top honor recognizes their leadership in the TCJ Fund, which supports families dealing with pediatric cancer. The foundation started after Coughlin coach Jay McGillis, a college player who fought leukemia. But passed away eight months after his diagnosis. Deeply moved, Coughlin and his late wife Judy promised to help other families in similar situations. That commitment led to the creation of the Jay Fund more than 25 years ago. Since then, the fund has raised and given out over $34 million to more than 5,000 families across Northeastern Florida, South East. Georgia, in the New York area, Kelly serves as chief executive officer while Coughlin's son Brian is a vice president on the board.

Coughlin built his coaching legacy with the Giants, leading them for 12 years from 2004 to 2015, and earlier, contributing to their 1990 Super Bowl win as wide receivers coach. His success on the field now shines through this off-field humanitarian effort. As the awards ceremony approaches, this recognition highlights how Coughlin's influence extends far beyond football, inspiring ongoing helper kids, battling cancer, and their loved ones.
