The JSP Foundation, Inc. was established to honor the memory of Joel Stephen Pollack, a man who dreamed of a better world for children. Joel saw the value of literature and music in people's lives and had just started to take steps to do his part in ensuring that the knowledge found in books and the joy gained from music were in the lives of those less fortunate.

Having personally experienced enrichment and growth through books and music, Joel Pollack saw first-hand the value of these resources. At the time of his death, he was just beginning to get involved with organizations that served underprivileged children. The JSP Foundation will continue to fulfill his dreams and raise awareness and funds that will provide the important tools and resources for these young people.
