<div>We all encounter someone who leaves an indelible mark on our lives. For thousands, that person is <strong>Jack Rafferty—early pioneer of the human potential movement and mentor dedicated to helping people awaken to love, purpose, and possibility. </strong>Now 94 and battling late-stage cancer, Jack has lost the income that supported his life’s work. Your donation will fund essential medical care, support the completion of his final projects, create scholarships and train facilitators to carry his legacy into the future.
</div>
<div><strong>LEARN MORE ABOUT JACK AND THE FOUNDATION:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Some legacies are written in history books. Others are written in the hearts of the people. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>﻿For nearly 60 years, Jack Rafferty has quietly—and profoundly—changed lives. His work continues—and now, both he and it need your support. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>﻿</strong>Jack is a trailblazer in transformational education, an approach that aims to fundamentally transform how individuals understand the world and their place in it through emphasizing personal, relational, and spiritual growth. Jack was one of the founders of<em> </em><strong><em>est</em>, an organization that had over a million participants in the 1970s and 1980s</strong>, which laid the groundwork for a global revolution in personal development.
</div>
<div>He has continued to help people fall in love—with themselves, with life, and with each other—and step into fuller, more authentic beings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>At 94 years young,</strong> Jack is <strong>still teaching, still creating, still transforming lives.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, as anyone who has dedicated their life to service knows, carrying forward a legacy like this takes a village—and requires resources.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is your moment to pay it forward—</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re asking for your help and contribution to ensure Jack’s legacy reaches future generations, and your participation means everything.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We’re Asking for Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div>A small, devoted group of Jack’s supporters, friends, and colleagues has formed <strong>The Jack Rafferty Foundation, Inc. with him, a US-based nonprofit (501(c)(3) approval status pending).</strong> Our mission is to ensure Jack’s teachings reach far beyond any single workshop or seminar room.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The three main purposes of the foundation</strong> are: 1️⃣ to support Jack in his health and wellness, enabling him to continue his good work; 2️⃣ to support Jack’s philosophical, creative, and inspirational endeavors, which he is currently focused on; 3️⃣ to help extend Jack’s legacy beyond the present and into the near future—creating scholarships and advancing programs that promote his life’s mission of transforming human potential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Jack Rafferty Foundation urgently needs your support to fulfill its mission to:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>1️⃣ Support Jack’s Health &amp; Wellness</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the past <strong>five years,</strong> Jack has been dealing with <strong>late-stage prostate cancer</strong> with the same determination and grace that he’s brought to his teaching. Nonetheless, he remains active, writing, mentoring, and designing his legacy projects.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jack has spent his life in service to others and lives modestly.
</div>
<div>In order to support his mission of offering scholarships and delivering workshops to those who cannot otherwise afford to attend, Jack took on a part-time job in Mergers and Acquisitions in the Healthcare industry for the last 25 years. This M&amp;A company has recently closed its doors, and Jack now needs help covering <strong>basic living expenses and necessary medical costs so he can continue his work without financial worry.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>2️⃣ Support Jack’s Literary and Professional Projects</strong>
</div>
<div>Jack is currently writing his seminal work: a book tentatively entitled <strong><em>The Art of Relating</em></strong>—a culmination of his decades of teaching on <strong>love, relationships, and human connection</strong>. He’s also preparing workshops and training new leaders to carry this work forward. Jack is also an <strong>emerging social media content creator</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your support will help cover:</strong>
</div>
<div>•	Writing, editing, and publishing costs
</div>
<div>•	Distribution of the book and his teachings
</div>
<div>•	Training future program leaders to ensure Jack’s work continues beyond his lifetime
</div>
<div>•	Development of future seminars and workshops
</div>
<div>•	Costs related to social media and content creation (e.g., TikTok, YouTube, TedTalk, film project, etc.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>3️⃣ Preserve and Expand Jack’s Legacy for Future Generations</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We seek to extend Jack’s teachings beyond his lifetime, inspiring the next generation of:</strong>
</div>
<div>•	Leaders and educators
</div>
<div>•	Professional coaches, counselors, and therapists
</div>
<div>•	Young people and seniors from underserved communities
</div>
<div>… and anyone else who can benefit from transformational, relationship-based learning
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We will do this by:</strong>
</div>
<div>•	Offering scholarships to individuals who otherwise might not be able to afford to attend any workshop or program aligned with the foundation’s purpose
</div>
<div>•	Building programs for young people, seniors, and professionals who want to be of service and expand their emotional, relational, and spiritual potential
</div>
<div>•	Digitally preserving Jack’s teachings in multiple languages through book sales and charitable donations, so his work can continue to serve people worldwide
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Jack’s Legacy is Our Legacy</strong>
</div>
<div>Everyone who knows Jack knows his spirit: <strong>young at heart, wise beyond his years.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>… and if you don’t know Jack, here is your opportunity.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even now, while facing challenges, Jack remains focused not on himself, but on the world he hopes to leave better than he found it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If Jack has touched your life directly—or if you believe in the power of transformational education, love, conscious living, and authentic human connection—<strong>this is your moment to give back.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
