Jason Wilhelm was a professional drummer pursuing a degree in music business when, in May 2003 at the age of 20, he was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer.
​The disease outlasted five years of aggressive treatments and surgeries that gradually weakened his body beyond the ability to recover.
​
Despite losing his college education, the strength to drum, his health, and ultimately his life to cancer in May 2008, Jason accepted the hard truths of his life without allowing them to harden his heart.​
The Jason Christopher Wilhelm Scholarship Fund was established in honor of his amazing courage and character.
All transactions on jaycwsfund.org ​conducted securely through PayPal.

The Jason Christopher Wilhelm ​Scholarship Fund
​is committed to:

  • The pursuit of college education by high school students who demonstrate academic discipline and are a positive example to their peers while participating in a team sport or musical group throughout high school.
  • The immediate financial need of cancer patients, in an effort to reduce the stress placed on the individual and family during the course of treatment.
  • Increased awareness and research, to ultimately eliminate the devastating threat of cancer to cut short another life full of potential.
