Tommy “T-Bone” Bounds created the foundation in honor of his wife Jana, a hard-working advocate who lost her 24-year battle with cancer.

“Say, there’s hope in everything you do and there’s other people that care for you. And what a way to celebrate my wife’s life is by having the Jana Banana Day at SeaWorld,” said Bounds.

Bounds said it’s important that these children get to have a blast alongside other kids who are fighting the same fight.

The foundation wants the kids to know that the community has not forgotten about them and their fight.
