James D. Pinnick, Founder & Executive Director of Jen’s Thank You Alliance (JTYA), lives in Phoenix, Arizona. Born and raised in Arizona, James left his fulltime corporate position to create and lead JTYA. As a 501 (c)(3) non profit organization established in August 2009. James’ hopes and dreams are for the organization to help those individuals age 15-39 who are fighting with any form of cancer and provide the needed financial, inspirational and educational resources at their greatest time of need. James & Jennifer Pinnick found it difficult to find financial and inspirational support for a cancer survivor and for the caretaker, such as the spouse. JTYA hopes to fill this gap the best way it can.
Mr. Pinnick witnessed his wife Jennifer of almost 5 years succumb to this terrible disease over a course of eighteen months. His prospective as a spouse feeling helpless led to a passion and calling in his life to help others in his community with their own journey.
Mr. Pinnick continues to have a vision for Jen’s Thank You Alliance as an international outreach organization that will be present in the community for decades to come, providing direct resources for young adult cancer survivors.
