Welcome to the home of The Jester & Pharley Phund, a nonprofit dedicated to both helping ill children, especially those with cancer, and igniting a love for reading among students nationwide. The lessons of hope, humor, charity and strength of character in the best-selling "The Jester Has Lost His Jingle" by David Saltzman are our inspiration. The goal of our Smiles for Kids With Cancer program is to give all 12,400 children diagnosed with cancer every year a copy of The Jester and Jester & Pharley Doll. Through this program and others, 150,000 Jester books and dolls have been given to hospitals. “The Jester came to us in our time of need and gave us hope when we needed it most,” said one grateful mom. Our Literacy Programs give students a unique and engaging way to help ill children while expanding their reading skills. Children and teachers mirror The Jester's journey on a Read-A-Thon that earns Jester books and dolls for local hospitalized children. 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. Click here to see a video of The Jester & Pharley at work.
