Our Mission: The Jester & Pharley Phund is dedicated to providing educational experiences that give every child a sense of hope, the joy of laughter, a feeling of self-empowerment, a love of learning, and the desire to live up to The Jester & Pharley's motto: "It's up to us to make a difference. It's up to us to care." ©
		Welcome to the website of The Jester & Pharley Phund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy and helping ill and special-needs children as they cope with cancer and other life challenges. The lessons of hope, humor, charity and strength of character in the best-selling "The Jester Has Lost His Jingle" by David Saltzman are the inspiration for The Jester & Pharley Phund. With each of our programs we strive to inspire every child with The Jester’s message: “It’s up to us to make a difference. It's up to us
to care.”© It is our strong belief that every child can attain literacy and become a contributing member of the community. Our schoolwide Read-A-Thons teach character development while igniting an interest in reading. As a result of their reading efforts in our Literacy & Outreach Programs, students donate uplifting copies of “The Jester” and Jester & Pharley Dolls to local hospitals. Jester & Pharley Smile Carts™ make laughter a part of the healing process in hospitals, clinics and shelters. The Smile Cart activity center with audio-visual equipment includes Jester & Pharley books and dolls for patients. Our partnerships with organizations helping children facing serious challenges have benefited many youngsters. These include working with the support of such foundations as the Frieda C. Fox Family Foundation, which has helped forge a powerful partnership for grief support with Hospice of the Valley in San Jose, CA. Join us on our mission to help children in need of a smile from The Jester & Pharley.
