The Jorgen Yde (JY6) Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity that raises awareness and funding for pediatric cancer research and leukemia research. Our vision is to support pediatric cancer research that provides better treatments and leads to cures for leukemia and all pediatric cancers. The only request that Jorgen Yde, the namesake of the foundation, ever made was for someone to find a cure for cancer. Before Jorgen passed away, he was asked how he wanted to be remembered and how we could carry on his legacy. He told his family that he wanted them to help find a cure for leukemia and other childhood cancers. Jorgen prayed and hoped that one day there would be a cure for all cancers.

The Jorgen Yde (JY6) Foundation's Nurses Dinner is the foundation's gala event, honoring nurses and raising funds for pediatric cancer research. Saturday, May 10, 2025 will mark our 14th annual JY6 Nurses Dinner. We celebrate nurses in the greater Sioux Falls area and honor the Nurse of the Year, all while raising funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research. The night will include messages from the JY6 founders + supporters + the opportunity to bid on a fantastic selection of auction items.
