The Community Foundation of South Jersey is grateful to partner with the Hannon Family to create and support the Jack Hannon Full Throttle Fund.
The mission of the Full Throttle Fund is to help Jack’s inspiring and loving spirit live on through charitable projects focused on youth development, bringing fun and joy to children. According to the family, the name Full Throttle represents everything Jack stood for – whether it was playing sports, playing chess, running on the playground, or spreading cheer to everyone he met – he did all of this at 150% and always full throttle.
On September 27, 2023, family, friends, and community partners gathered to dedicate the Fund’s first youth development project, ‘The Full Throttle Field’ in Moorestown, New Jersey.
Kristin Hannon said, “When thinking of how to honor Jack best and spread his spirit, our family knew that building a state-of-the-art wiffle ball field would be a wonderful tribute.” The Full Throttle Field was made possible by committed volunteers and the overwhelming generosity of donors to the Full Throttle Fund.
With donations raised, the Full Throttle Fund at the Community Foundation granted monies to the Moorestown Youth Baseball Federation. The Federation facilitated the construction of the field in partnership with the Township of Moorestown. The Federation was supported by committed family members and corporate volunteers with expertise in public works construction.
Ms. Hannon continued, “ The Community Foundation of South Jersey is where you can support the Fund’s mission.” Charitable giving funds at the Community Foundation of South Jersey provide a simple, powerful and personal approach to giving. CFSJ offers a variety of administratively efficient fund types to meet family, organization, and community needs and opportunities.
The next project for the Full Throttle Fund is an all-inclusive playground where children of all ages and abilities can play together. South Jersey neighbors who want to support this next community project or the mission of the Jack Hannon Full Throttle Fund can donate via credit card online here.
