Memorial Donations
Throughout 2016, many families requested memorials for their loved ones to Jordan’s Foundation. We also had some generous donations from friends of Jordan. On December 29th, we made visits to the Ronald McDonald House and Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital and donated $10,000.00 to each. The Ronald McDonald House will use their donation to replace the furniture in the Family Room at Children’s Hospital. The hospital donation will be used by the Pediatric Heart Institute towards completion of Dr. Doyle’s ductal stent to be used in children born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
