Local PANS/PANDAS Support
Based in Massachusetts, The JBC Foundation provides compassionate, knowledgeable support to affected families in our local communities.
The JBC Foundation is headquartered in beautiful Scituate, Massachusetts—25 miles south of Boston.
While we started as an organization focused solely on raising money to distribute to our grant recipients, we’ve evolved over the past two years. It became clear that in addition to financial support, there was an urgent need to provide personal support to area families struggling with a PANS/PANDAS diagnosis.
Cathy and Jennifer, JBC’s President and Executive director, began meeting with families looking for honest advice and local resources for care. In 2011, Cathy and Jennifer were connected by a PANS/PANDAS specialist who treated their children. To say it changed both their lives is an understatement. The two women provided each other the support, friendship, and understanding they needed to navigate the path to healing. More than a decade later, they are grateful to be able to pay it forward and help other families who feel lost, overwhelmed, and alone.
