Testimonials

I want to tell you how much I appreciate the work you do for the community and the cancer families. It is really truly amazing.

You may not get that many thank yous from regular citizens but, a couple years ago I ran your 5k with my family. It is unquestionably the best thing I have seen anyone do in my life while doing it myself for your organization. You provide a place for families with a cancer victim to stay and enjoy the beach. Not that many people have that opportunity. I'm always pleased to see people and organizations helping their community. Whenever I come to Delaware my family and I drive past the house and we admire the work you do.

Without a doubt continue your foundation. Each and every day you can and will change someones life for the better. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Justin Turner, Freshman

About Us

Our Mission

The mission of The Justin W. Jennings Foundation is to support and maintain a home in the Bethany Beach area where families with cancer can have a place of respite and enjoy some fun family time. It will be a place of joy and peace at the beach.

The vision of the Justin W. Jennings Foundations is to provide the funding to operate Justin's Beach House. The goal is for Justin's Beach House to become self-sustaining.

Our History

In January 2005, The Justin W. Jennings Foundation partnered with Contractors for a Cause, a group of local builders, to realize the dream of building Justin's Beach House.

In previous years this group sponsored worthwhile charities and, after hearing Justin's story, decided to provide assistance to The Justin W. Jennings Foundation.

We thank Contractors for a Cause for all that they have done. We also want to thank the Town of Bethany Beach and the many volunteers that helped make Justin’s dream come true.

Justin's Story

On September 29, 1980 Justin W. Jennings was born in Wilmington, Delaware. The youngest of three children, Justin was your typical healthy, happy little boy who was maturing into a wonderful young man.

Since an early age, Justin had one dream and that was to attend Penn State. Everything Justin did - from playing baseball and golf, participating in student government and being an alter boy at church-was to help him attain his goal of attending Penn State. Upon hearing the news that his tumor was malignant, Justin’s first question to the doctors was, (which really was not a question, more of a statement to them) “I will be going to college”!
