Our impact
Jewel Charity was founded on a shared belief that all children deserve high-quality, accessible health care, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Today, more than 70 years later, our members continue to honor our Founders’ mission to provide for the health and well-being of the patients at Cook Children’s by raising funds to support uncompensated care.
$83 million
As Cook Children’s single largest donor organization, we are proud to have given more than $83 million dollars to support the health and well-being of every child in our community, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
72 years
In 1953, Nenetta Burton Carter and Billie Bransford Clark founded Jewel Charity with desire to provide high-quality, accessible health care to all children in their community. Today, Jewel Charity stands as one of the most respected charity organizations in Fort Worth.
1 mission
The focus of our efforts has never wavered: For 72 years, Cook Children’s has remained our sole beneficiary, allowing the generosity of our members, Angels, sponsors and friends to make a greater impact than would be possible if divided between organizations.
Ways To Give
Be an Angel
Our donors, known as Angels, help support the most immediate needs of the patients and families at Cook Children’s. When a child is sick or injured, Angel Donations allow doctors, nurses, surgeons and specialists to say “yes” to providing world-class care, regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
Attend an event
In addition to the Jewel Charity Ball, our members host events throughout the year for Angel Donors, sponsors and guests.
Purchase a Raffle Ticket
Jewel Charity New Members sell raffle tickets to their friends, family and community to raise funds in support of our mission. Raffle tickets can be purchased directly from a New Member, at our annual Ladies’ or Men’s Raffle Ticket events or at the Jewel Charity Ball.

For us, it would be difficult to imagine our community without Cook Children’s. We are so thankful for the care our children have received there in the past, and the assurances of its’ providers and facilities gives us great comfort in the care that is extended to all of those in need, even across the country. Jewel Charity’s support of this “state of the art” institution is a true blessing. We are grateful to Jewel Charity.
