The board of directors at Ohio State University's Medical Center as well as
The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute has established the

The fund shall provide a chair position to be filled by a nationally eminent
scholar whose research has been applied to new medical therapies and
treatments for childhood cancer. The chairholder will distribute annual progress
reports that will highlight new developments in research and patient care. This

"This is a very exciting announcement and one that we as a family and a
company are extremely proud of, "said Jeg Coughlin Sr.
Coughlin received a framed research lab coat with an official letter from
the board of directors acknowledging the gift from The JEG’S Foundation. The
entire Coughlin family is pleased and honored to support these world-class
institutions that have saved the lives of so many people over the years.
