2025 was a great year for the Maximus Janton Foundation. We hosted our 5th Annual Max’s Moon Run, our 8th Annual Friends FORE Max Janton Golf Classic, and we continued to serve the special needs community in honor of our boy. We began this nonprofit with a simple, passion-driven mission, and we continue on that path.
The most noteworthy moment of 2025 happened at Max’s Moon Run, when we pulled off a huge surprise for 18 families, referred to us by doctors, teachers and therapists. We gave $55,000 in gifts to allow those families to take a vacation, pay off a medical bill, and, hopefully, breathe a little easier. It was an extraordinary night, enhanced by a crowd of 1,750.

Full disclosure is the name of the game. We never want you to wonder how your donations are spent. We’d love for you to look at our numbers, profits and expenditures, and see the impact your contribution made in 2025. Seeing everything laid out below astounds us. For example, in December 2025, we marked $150,000 in total contributions to Miracle Babies, supporting NICU families at Northside-Forsyth Hospital! We never imagined we could pull off something like that, and we know we couldn’t have done it without YOU!

We hope this peek at our financials makes you proud. Every time you participate in one of our events, you are making an impact on the special needs families in our community. We couldn’t do it without you and we’re so grateful.
We aren’t the biggest nonprofit. We don’t share enough on social media to meet the standard these days. We have shelved our big idea for Max’s Field of Dreams (adapted sports field that we presented nearly two years ago), because we were denied by our first-choice city, then realized it would probably be too much to handle in this season of life. We’re OK with all of this, because none of it keeps us from accomplishing our mission.
We try not to be redundant, we know our spiel is always the same, but there’s no other way to state the truth. We miss our Max every second of every day and, though running a non-profit comes with many challenges, we’re grateful for the Maximus Janton Foundation and the opportunities it allows.
Our greatest goal is to continue serving and loving and sharing our love for Max. To every one of you who has been a sponsor, volunteered, made a donation, attended an event, given us a referral to someone who needs our assistance, worn a T-shirt or a hat with Max’s silhouette - we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
The magic continues.
