OUR PARTNERS
A Mission of Impact
Committed to fostering equity and safety in his home community, Jay Farner partnered with the YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit through a landmark $1 million investment. This foundational gift expands the "Detroit Swims" initiative, providing free, life-saving swim lessons and water safety certification to over 7,500 local youth. By removing historical barriers to aquatics programming, the initiative not only protects vulnerable children but also funds vital training and employment opportunities for local lifeguards and swim instructors.
The Jay Farner Family Foundation is proud to partner with the Cleveland Clinic to drive critical medical research and elevate patient care. By supporting pioneering initiatives like the Cleveland Clinic Brain Study and comprehensive caregiver programs, the foundation seeks to accelerate early detection for neurological diseases while offering vital resources to families navigating complex diagnoses. Together, we are investing in innovative solutions that promise a healthier, more supported future for generations to come.
