Jey's Journey

Jey’s Journey for a Cure is an Illinois-based, family-led initiative raising awareness and funds for cystic fibrosis (CF) research and supporting families affected by the disease. Founded by the Ray family after their son Baker was diagnosed with CF, the organization turns a personal experience into a community effort, with a mission to keep raising support until “CF” stands for “Cure Found. ” Its work includes charity events, fundraising, community education, sponsorship opportunities, and a shirt shop.

Individuals and businesses can contribute through donations, event participation, sponsorships, volunteering, or sharing Baker’s story. The organization says that proceeds from its events and sponsorships go directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation or another donor-selected CF research organization, helping fund research and drug development. Sponsors may receive recognition through event apparel, social media, and the organization’s website.

Jey’s Journey also shares information about CF and honors loved ones through tribute messages. The family states that the nonprofit’s final IRS approval is pending
