Our Mission
The mission of the Move For Jenn Foundation is to offer grants in the form of activewear prosthetics to those who have suffered the loss of a limb to sarcoma cancer or other affiliated diseases. These activewear prosthetics are not considered "medically necessary" by most insurance companies, so our foundation bridges the gap to allow amputees to get back to the physical activities they enjoyed prior to amputation.
The Move For Jenn Foundation also aims to find a cure for sarcoma and better treatment options for sarcoma patients. Targeted research, awareness, and advocacy are three core objectives that make the foundation unique.
With your help, we can fight sarcoma and give amputees an opportunity to keep MOVING! Sign up for our newsletter to stay updated on upcoming events and volunteer opportunities around the Queen City. To support our mission, donate here.
We're Hiring!
Our new Executive Director will lead the organization’s operations, fundraising, events, and community outreach to advance its mission of restoring mobility for sarcoma amputees and funding critical research. This part-time (29 hours/week), Charlotte-based role reports to the Board of Directors and oversees grant writing, sponsorship cultivation, event management, donor stewardship, and strategic partnerships. The ED will serve as the public face of the foundation, fostering relationships with donors, sponsors, hospitals, and community groups while ensuring impactful programs, financial health, and continued growth.
🎗️ The ideal candidate is kind, compassionate, hardworking, and fun-loving - bringing both professionalism and warmth to the role. While being a part of the cancer community can feel heavy, we do our best to be a light in a dark space.
