Pediatric Cancer
Carson Leslie Foundation*
The Carson Leslie Foundation is advancing innovative pediatric brain cancer research with a focused commitment to improving early detection and treatment outcomes for children diagnosed with medulloblastoma. This year, as our premiere research grant, the JSFF funding supports cutting-edge research initiatives aimed at identifying biomarkers and diagnostic pathways that could enable earlier, more accurate detection. This progress has the potential to significantly improve survival rates while reducing the long-term impact of treatment. By investing at a critical stage, we aim to help CLF accelerate the development of more targeted, less invasive therapies for young patients. The promise of this research lies not only in extending lives, but in improving quality of life for survivors and offering renewed hope to families navigating a pediatric cancer diagnosis.
Support from The Jordan Spieth Family Foundation allows us to pursue one of the most important breakthroughs in pediatric cancer, detecting medulloblastoma before it becomes life-threatening. This grant helps move us closer to a future where a simple blood test at a baby’s checkup could spare children from devastating brain surgery and toxic treatments.

Warrior Bonfire
The JSFF grant to the Warrior Bonfire will support two small-group, activity-based retreats designed specifically for combat-wounded Purple Heart recipients. These retreats provide a safe, stress-free environment where veterans can engage in outdoor adventures, peer dialogue, and restorative ceremonies, including a signature American Flag Retirement Ceremony, to help process post-combat trauma and many other outcomes of a life in service. By covering core expenses such as lodging, travel, and coordination, this grant will enable at least a dozen additional veterans to access these life-changing experiences. The program’s mission is to reduce isolation, improve mental health, and empower our nation’s heroes to discover renewed purpose and build stronger community and family relationships, and the JSFF is proud to support this initiative as it bridges the gap between clinical care and meaningful personal connection.
The support of the Jordan Speith Family Foundation is much appreciated and is instrumental in our ability to serve Purple Heart recipients through small groups that foster healing and connection while recognizing and supporting the vital role of their spouses. Thank you very much!!
