Jax Pays It Forward
Come join us at Side Launch Brewing Company Inc for a day of giving back and spreading kindness! Our Story - If you can't pay it back - Pay it forward ! #jaxpaysitforward
Walking into the Children's Hospital in Hamilton was one of the more helpless and chaotic feelings of my life. Our little girl needed help and needed her parents by her side. I of course was unable to give her the medical help she needed but Ronald McDonald house gave us the ability to provide the support and comfort she needed.
When we first showed up at the Children's Hospital we of course were overwhelmed with the unknown. What medical attention did our daughter need? How long would we be in the hospital for? How long would be living out of our suitcases for? Where would we shower? Where would we eat? How long would we sleep in hospital chairs and on floor.
Of course, a lot of these questions would be answered over time and as our situation unfolded. However, Ronald McDonald House of Hamilton and their unbelievable staff were able to take a huge amount of stress and questions off our plate.
Jax Pays it forward stemmed from we believe if you cannot pay it back pay it forward and we want to show our daughter the importance of paying it forward and helping other families in need !
This year will be the 6th annual Jax pays it forward!
All proceeds will be split between our local hospital the CGMH and our sponsored room at RMH Hamilton.
The money we raise for CGMH will go to the expansion goals and machines including the simulation machines they use to train for trauma patients like Jax.
And the other half of the money goes towards our "adopted" room at Ronald McDonald House in Jax's name.
Our room adoption covers the costs that other families would have to pay to stay in that room for a whole year .
We will be hosting the event again at Side Launch Brewery on June 14th, 2025 from 12-5!
