Donate Life Kentucky Trust Receives Generous Gift from the Family of Jack Kain

For Immediate Release:

The nonprofit organization, Donate Life Kentucky Trust (Trust), is honored to announce a meaningful and generous gift from Alice Stewart-Kain and her late husband Jack A. Kain, founder of Jack Kain Ford. The donation, presented on Friday, July 25, came as a complete surprise to the Trust’s staff and Board of Directors.

The Kain family’s connection to organ donation and transplantation is deeply personal. Two of Jack and Alice’s daughters were in need of liver transplants, and the family has experienced firsthand the life-changing impact of both the gift of life and the challenges faced by those waiting for a transplant. Their story is one of resilience, gratitude, and commitment to helping others.

“This remarkable act of generosity reflects the Kain family’s compassion for transplant patients, their families, and the donor families whose selflessness makes transplantation possible,” said Shelley Snyder, Executive Director of Donate Life Kentucky Trust. “We are grateful for their longtime support of the Trust and for their dedication to raising awareness about the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation.”

This contribution was made possible by two Ambassadors Club grants through NADA. The grants represent the final gifts under the program to be made in the names of Mr. and Mrs. Jack A. Kain, making this donation especially significant.

This gift will directly benefit the Trust’s programs that provide assistance to transplant patients and donor families and raise public awareness about donation. It will also serve as a source of hope and support for those currently waiting for the gift of life.

“We are thinking not only of those 1000 Kentucky kids and adults waiting for a lifesaving transplant, but also of the donor families who have given the greatest gift imaginable,” Snyder added. “The Kain family’s generosity will make a lasting difference in the lives of so many.”
