The Sykes family is committed to supporting the South Jersey community, promoting local athletics, and encouraging energetic lifestyles through the following organizations and sponsorships:

The Donny Fund, a division of the John and Nancy Sykes Foundation (501 C 3), was started in 1993 to honor the memory of Donald Sykes. Its mission is to aid area families affected by catastrophic disease and to promote universal positivity and optimism. Each spring the Donny Fun Day is held at the Yacht Club of Pleasantville and participants row, paddle, run, walk, and swim to support our effort. All proceeds are used to provide transportation, clothing, home care, medication, chemotherapy, and special days out for those in need in our local community.

Additionally, the Donny Fund and JNS Foundation support the South Jersey Field of Dreams, a place where physically and mentally handicapped disabled children and adults can play and participate in the Great American Pastime, baseball.

The 2010 Donny Fun Day will be held on June 13th from 8:00am-Noon. Registration Form

Thousands of people have contributed to the Donny Fund, but there are a few core-givers that we would like to recognize. The following companies and individuals seek no recognition; they are extraordinary people and true friends to our organization.
