Family travel association logo

The Family Travel Association was founded in 2014 by Rainer Jenss and a steering committee who recognized that too many parents do not take advantage of the amazing travel opportunities available to them and their children. Considering that family travel constitutes approximately one-third of all leisure travel, and has seen steady growth in family and multigenerational travel, the time has come to create a single and collective voice on behalf of the travel industry and those companies that serve traveling families.

Jack and Jill logo

Featured as the holiday cover story on CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood (highlighting the White Stallion Ranch), the TODAY Show twice, Sunday Night Football Thanksgiving special, and a tribute from Dr. Sanjay Guptay, JAJF is a national 501(c)(3) that treats families facing the imminent loss of their young Mom or Dad to WOW! Experiences…..a timeout together as a family away from their late-stage cancer to fabulous destinations (including our ranches) to create cherished, lasting memories…while they can. Oncologists now “prescribe” JAJF as part of the treatment protocol for the patient, the spouse, and their children…the family together which is extraordinary. Oncologists have validated the medicinal impact and the power of laughter and smiles–of positive, fun family time together. As the only organization of its kind serving this overlooked population, there is a need to keep fighting the fight; there is also a need to keep fighting for cherished family time for these young parents who just won’t be saved by the next wonder drug or trial. JAJF is supported by individual donors who make WOW! Experiences® possible. To learn more, “like” the “Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation” on Facebook or visit the JAJF website at www.jajf.org Jon Albert, Founder; was honored as the 2010 Humanitarian of the Year in a ceremony sponsored by American Airlines and in 2011 as the Avis National Spirit recipient at Yankee Stadium.
