The CJR Memorial Foundation is a 501c3 that was started in loving memory of my son Caleb Regenski, who passed away very suddenly from an aggressive brain cancer at age two.  The CJR Memorial Foundation grants wishes for children in Northest PA through the Make A Wish Foundation, we sponsor a room at the ROnald McDonald House and financially assist families with critically ill chilren.  By covering mortgage and utility payments, parents are not forced to choose between work an  We certainly stretch every penny we raise!  

The golf outing is our largest fundraising event each year.  On May 8th, we will host over 160 golfers and 250+ for cocktails and dinner afterward.  There will be an awesome gift basket raffle which is always an amazing success and will help us achieve most of our fundriaising goals for the year!  Your donation will go towards this exciting raffle and we very truly appreciate your support.

The CJR Memorial Foundation proudly supports the Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia.  There, families are able to stay free of charge while their child receives treatment at nearby hospitals including the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.  Since 2013 we have sponsored a room in Caleb’s name, lessening the stress and financial burden for all who stay there each year.  CJR assists families experiencing financial hardship while caring for their critically ill child.  We help these families make ends meet by covering expenses like mortgage payments and utility bills so the parents are not forced to choose between their jobs and being by their child’s side. 

This will mark our seventh year partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Since 2016, the CJR Memorial Foundation has contributed $34,200 to the Make-A-Wish chapter of NEPA in support of 8 wishes!  These  magical moments have included a bedroom makeover, trips to Walt Disney World, and even a tropical adventure in Hawaii.  We will continue to support this extra special organization so more local children can see their wishes come true. 

This past winter we the CJR Memorial Foundation partnered up with the local Ronald McDonald House of Scranton’s “Merry & Bright Family Night”– an evening on the Stourbridge Line! The night train ride was centered around the Wonder of Christmas and family togetherness. For the past 5 years alone, the RMH of Scranton has served nearly 100 families from Wayne and Pike counties while their children have received treatment.  In addition to sponsoring this wonderful train ride, the CJR Memorial Foundation provided a large toy donation to the Zipper Junctions Annual Toy Drive. Toys from this drive were distributed to children all over Pike & Wayne Counties.  The CJR, along with the help of its corporate partners, was able to deliver hundreds of toys valued at over $8,000 to many children living in our local communities!
