Welcome to the Jan and Jeffrey Thompson Foundation
Jan and Jeffrey Thompson are the inspiration behind the foundation
Celebrating the lives of Jan and Jeffrey
Jan, born in 1969, and Jeffrey, born in 1958, faced very different lives. Jeffrey fought for nine months before cystic fibrosis shortened his life. Jan grew up without knowing her brother and felt a desire to live the life cystic fibrosis took from Jeff. Jan lived 50 wonderful years as a cystic fibrosis fighter and organ donor recipient. The Jan and Jeffrey Thompson Foundation was created in 2021 to celebrate, honor and keep alive the memory of Jan and Jeffrey Thompson.
Supporting those in the fight against cystic fibrosis
The Jan and Jeffrey Thompson Foundation is a not-for-profit organization striving to raise awareness and funds for cystic fibrosis research and promote organ donation, while also providing support services and scholarships to those fighting cystic fibrosis.
Goals of the Foundation
Provide one academic scholarship each year to an individual with cystic fibrosis who resides in Illinois, Missouri or Arizona to be utilized to attend a two- or four-year community college, university and/or trade school.
Raise awareness and funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, specifically the Gateway Chapter in St Louis, Missouri.
Provide assistance and support for those individuals with cystic fibrosis and/or those awaiting or recipients of lung transplantation.
Collaborate with local animal rescue, Care STL, to provide healthy and safe visits to people with cystic fibrosis staying at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
