Giving Back

Jenn has an active presence in many charitable organizations because she believes that it is important to give back to your community and help those that are less fortunate.

When Jenn was in college she started a mentoring program for girls that were living in a foster home called Pleasant Place. This home was a very special place for Jenn as she started the mentoring program shortly after her younger sister Carrie was killed in a car accident. The home had girls that were under the age of 18 and were either pregnant or had children of their own. Jenn, along with her fellow athletes, came to the home once a week to help the girls with life skills, tutoring, college applications and taking care of their children.  Jenn was also instrumental is creating a Guardian Angel Program that got other athletic teams, corporations and individuals to sponsor a girl and her child at Pleasant Place.  It is here that Jenn discovered how important it is to help those less fortunate and it allowed her to be the “big sister” she no longer could be.
