What a year. What a community. What a difference YOU have made.
We are beyond grateful to share our 2025 Impact Report with you — because every number in it, every story, every family helped reflects the generosity, effort, and heart of this community. Sixteen years ago, JUST TRYAN IT was born from the desire to help a few pediatric cancer families in treatment at Georgetown Hospital. Today, it stands as a movement refusing to let families face childhood cancer alone.
The Numbers Tell the Story
In 2025, our community distributed $292,086 in grants directly to families at partner hospitals, covering urgent needs like housing, transportation, utilities, and groceries. Our Emergency Assistance grants averaged $1,532 for families in immediate crisis, while our Deep Need grants averaged $5,836 for those requiring sustained, longer-term support.
Real Families. Real Impact.
Behind every grant is a family fighting the hardest battle of their lives. These families remind us exactly why this work matters. The Impact Report highlights Addison, Morgan and Zaid, a few of the children we helped last year. These are not just stories. They are the reason we race, fundraise, volunteer, and give.
A Community That Grows Stronger Every Year
Over 16 years and $7.1 million raised, we have helped 4,030 families navigate the unimaginable. And with your continued partnership, we know that number will only grow.
As you read through this report, we hope you feel what we feel every single day: profound pride, deep gratitude, and unstoppable hope. Thank you for being part of this family. Thank you for choosing hope. Let’s keep going.
With deep gratitude,
Maureen Colburn
Executive Director
