Welcome to Jack’s Cause

“Jack's Cause" was formed on December 16, 2010 as a Texas Non-Profit Corporation.  Funds raised will be used to provide academic and youth enrichment program scholarships to children who have lost a parent to cancer.  Dr. Jack Alvin Bolton received his Doctorate of Medicine Degree in 1990 from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) in Lubbock, Texas. He completed his residency in El Paso in 1994.  He was a Board Certified Assistant Professor in the Texas Tech Department of Anesthesia.  Jack was a quiet man with a kind heart, a good father and husband. He fought his battle against cancer bravely.  This website is dedicated to his memory.

Cancer

“In 2010, about six hundred thousand Americans, and more than 7 million humans around the world, will die of cancer.  In the United States, one in three women and one in two men will develop cancer during their lifetime…In some nations cancer will surpass heart disease to become the most common cause of death.”

The Emperor of all Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee

Family members with a cancer diagnosis are confronted with one or all of the following three needs:

• Selecting a care provider to assist in eliminating the cancer
• Arranging for the care of the patient/family during treatment
• Financial and emotional support for survivors

It is the mission of Jack’s Cause to assist families with the 3 needs above.
