Jukes Foundation for Kids (JFK) is a not-for-profit chapter of Ambassadors For Children dedicated to providing financial support for the educational needs of young students in Uganda and the United States. We do so by participating in events and projects that will enrich the lives of underprivileged children.

Inspired by his volunteer trip to Uganda in the summer of 2008, Avery Jukes now devotes his time off the basketball court to help children in need. He founded the Jukes Foundation for Kids to serve his mission by collecting educational resources, clothing, food, and helping raise funds that will provide financial aid for the education of the youth.
