Jenny Jones's Charity Work, Events and Causes

Charity biography

Former national talk show host Jenny Jones is empowering individuals to make a lasting impact on their community. Through her foundation, Jenny is giving away $1 million of her own money.

Her Jenny’s Heroes program awards grants of up to $25,000 to individuals who submit the best ideas for tangible, lasting community projects chosen for their significant long term benefits.

Jones was an honorary chairperson for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s Chicago Race for the Cure, and she donated a mobile mammography motor coach to Cook County Hospital.

Jenny’s biography, Jenny Jones: My Story was published in 1997 with 100% of Jenny’s profits going to breast cancer research. In 2006, her cookbook, Look Good, Feel Great was published and again, Jenny is donating 100% of her profits to breast cancer research at City of Hope.
