Jean Jackson Foundation
Children With Strength
WOWT 6 News Feature - June 2024
What does C.W.S. stand for?
Although C.W.S. is an acronym that stands for the College World Series, we believe it also stands for Children With Strength. Thus, C.W.S. stands for more than just the College World Series but those children who demonstrate courage and strength to endure loss, change, and a new normal, just like Corey Jackson.
As we receive donations and encounter children who are eligible and/or receive this opportunity, we will post appropriate information on this website.
If you have or know of a child who has lost one or both parents and is currently between the ages of 8 and 13, please contact us.
