Our Mission: Provide
For more than 70 years, Jewel Charity has provided for the health and well-being of the patients at Cook Children’s Medical Center.
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.
$85 million
As Cook Children’s single largest donor organization, we are proud to have given more than $85 million 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 a 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.
