Our Mission & Vision

Picture
Our Mission: To provide assistance to families of children with chronic and life threatening illnesses. 

Our Vision:
​Since our founding in 2010, we have seen CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation grow in amazing ways.  When we set out to start this organization, our mission was clear.  We wanted to honor Charlotte Jennie’s memory by serving families in their time of need.  We do this through meals and financial assistance.  We are serving many needs of the Richmond, VA community and have exceeded our goals every year of our existence.
In September 2013, our Board adopted the following Vision statement for our organization:
​

​“We want CJSTUF to be the hub that connects families to financial, educational, and emotional resources while they manage their child’s illness.”

In order to accomplish this vision, we must continue the strategic expansion of our current programs while developing opportunities with new partners. 
Thank you for helping us get this far. Thank you for helping us grow.  Thank you for helping us in our quest to achieve this vision. 
CJ's Thumbs Up Foundation (CJSTUF) is a GuideStar Platinum Participant
