JWAS in the news

Hear our story on the behind the region podcast

We were honored to be featured on the South Bend Regional Chamber’s Behind the Region podcast. In this heartfelt episode, Co-Founders Larry and Sherry Swank, along with Executive Director Jeanie Shuck, share the story behind the JWAS Foundation - how a deeply personal loss led to a mission of hope, opportunity, and support for children and families in St. Joseph County. 
​
You’ll also hear how the foundation is making a lasting impact today, and what lies ahead as we continue working to change lives through scholarships, programming, and our Trilogy of Care.

We’re honored to be featured in Qubit Networks’ July 2025 Not For Profit Spotlight. Executive Director Jeanie Shuck joined Ryan Seaburg to share the powerful story behind the JWAS Foundation — a mission born from the loss of Jaxson William Augustus Swank, who passed away just shy of his second birthday. In this feature, Jeanie highlights how the foundation continues to honor Jaxson’s legacy through scholarships, education, and leadership development opportunities for children across St. Joseph County.
Watch the full spotlight to learn how we’re providing more than just education — we’re offering hope, guidance, and love to every Jaxson Scholar.
