On Monday, June 8th, Jack Archer showed up for the Alessia Maria Memorial Fund golf tournament, the latest stop in our Jack Gives Back initiative. We outfitted every attendee in polos and ran a pop-up bar all day, because a good cause deserves a good time too. The sun held for the whole event.

Alessia Maria earned her wings on May 5, 2025, at just seven years old, after fighting glioblastoma for 125 days. Her family built the memorial fund in her name, one dedicated to carrying her light forward and creating a direct, positive impact on the lives of others, just as she always did.

That's the fund's whole mission: raise money in meaningful, diverse ways that create a direct, positive impact on individuals and the community. Sometimes that's a scholarship. Sometimes it's a new playground at a local school, or support for a family facing something hard. Organizations like Make-A-Wish showed the Maria family what that kind of impact looks like. The fund exists to offer the same, in Alessia's name.

We were glad to play a small part in it on June 8th.

"The Alessia Maria Memorial Fund would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Jack Archer and the Jack Gives Back organization for being a vital part of our fundraising event. Your generosity and support helped make this event a success and will allow us to continue Alessia's legacy by helping others in need. We are truly grateful for your partnership and your commitment to making a positive difference in our community."
