2 boys with big hearts and the desire to fundraise to help those more in need than even themselves and their families
Dustin and Jack were diagnosed with Neuroblastoma as young children. Between the two boys, they underwent treatment all over the world. The staff and community around VT embraced these boys and their families and wanted to continue their efforts even after their terrible disease had taken them. Jack’s famous “Never Give Up, Ever” quote was able to stay alive in the community in which he touched so deeply. It is with their passion and drive that we continue to move forward in raising money for research and helping families during the most difficult times in their lives.
We focus on making the maximum positive effort for our community. Our members and volunteers provide the momentum that helps us affect change.
The mission of Never Giver Up Ever is to provide money for research for childhood diseases that are terminal or chronic in nature and to provide financial support for families who are experiencing serious financial hardship related to having a child with a chronic illness, terminal illness or life altering event in their lives that requires long term medical care at VT Children's Hospital. Support for these families may include, but is not limited to; gas cards, meal cards, money for lodging and inevitable related expenses due to the loss of wages and overwhelming medical bills during inpatient hospitalizations and outpatient appointments.
Encourage neighbors to sign up for an event, sponsor you or buy gear to spread the word about us. You’ll be glad you did!
The Social Workers and Case Managers at UVM Children’s Hospital (serving VT and upper state NY) fill out applications on behalf of families in financial need. The Never Give Up Ever board members review the applications for criteria that meet the mission‘s intent.
The board members strive to be good stewards of donor dollars.
Upon approval of the funding, money is distributed directly to organizations owed, allowing caregivers to focus on their most important job; the care and concern of their child(ren).
“The organization sent a check for my electric bill and I am so relieved to have one thing off my mind!”
“Keep up the amazing work...you make such a difference in so many people’s lives!”
“a safety net for countless families that have a child with a life threatening, chronic or terminal illness...as a result of their generosity, parents can focus on what is most important; caring for their child.”

Another great year at the VT City Marathon! The weather was beautiful for our racers and spectators. An immense thank you to our donors who helped our racers participate. Even more importantly, for families in the community to be able to breathe a sigh of relief. That’s because of your donations! We have added to our fund to be able to support families, in financial need, when treated at UVM Children's Hospital. Families shouldn’t have to worry about making rent or paying an electric bill while also worrying about a sick child. Your generosity is appreciated! We look forward to collaborating in our community all year long! Our work to support families in financial need continues!
EVERY MILE FOR A CHILD!
