Jack McGovern Coats’ Disease Foundation

The Jack McGovern Coats’ Disease Foundation raises awareness of and funds research for a cure for Coats’ Disease, a rare retinal disease that primarily afflicts children; it can cause vision loss and may lead to the loss of an eye. The Foundation is the preeminent resource for Coats’ Disease patients and their families. We serve as a hub for the Coats’ Disease community who seek information about specialists who treat this rare disease and information on the latest research. The Jack McGovern Coats’ Disease Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charitable Foundation that was established in 2006 by the parents of Jack McGovern as a promise to their son that they would never rest until there was a cure for Coats’ Disease.
