Jack McGovern Coats’ Disease Foundation funds research to find a cure for Coats’ Disease and pediatric retinal disorders. The Foundation is the preeminent resource for Coats’ Disease patients and their families. We serve as a hub for the Coats’ Disease community who seek information about specialists who treat this rare disease and updates on the latest research in this disorder. The Jack McGovern Coats’ Disease Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charitable Foundation that was established in 2006 by the parents of Jack McGovern as a promise to their son that they would never rest until there was a cure for Coats’ Disease. Our Vision is to find a cure for Coats’ Disease. Our Mission is to raise funds to support research, raise awareness, expand patient resources, and offer all Coats’ Disease patients hope and improvements as they wage a lifelong battle against Coats’ Disease and blindness. Our Goals are to Raise Funds; Build Awareness; Fund Research; and Build Patient Resources.
