Jane Ann Kern Memorial

Jane Ann Kern Memorial Site - Donate

Jane had three charities that she believed in and supported.

• Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)
• Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA)
• Western Monmouth Habitat for Humanity (WMHfH)

Jane supported JDRF by creating a JDRF donation site that supported an annual September walk near Saratoga Springs, NY. Part of this walk is Team Caroline, named for Jane's granddaughter, Caroline. Jane was to have made this walk on September 14, 2008 but her fatal automobile accident on August 31, 2008 prevented her participation. Her family walked in her honor.

The JDRF donation site is still in operation and will be updated for future years. You may still donate to Team Caroline by clicking the following link:

Donate to Team Caroline and Support JDRF to Find a Cure for Diabetes.

Jane supported CCFA by creating a CCFA donation site that supported an annual May walk in Morris County, NJ. That site no longer exists but you are encouraged to donate to CCFA in her name.

Jane rode her trike on the Habitat for Humanity's Motorcycle Ride For Affordable Housing. I rode for Jane in the 2008 event. You can help Jane to continue to support Habitat for Humanity by making a donation in her name.

You can also read an article I wrote about the Western Monmouth Habitat for Humanity Motorcycle Ride which I rode on Jane's trike and helped to raise money to build a house for a disabled military veteran.

Jane Ann Kern (1937-2008)
