The family of T. Joe Jeane, together with Equine Sports Medicine of Pilot Point, Texas, has asked that donations be directed to a fund established in the name of T. Joe Jeane through the NSBA Foundation.

T. Joe was passionate about the care of animals, especially horses. T. Joe was just beginning his journey to become an equine veterinarian when his dream was cut short. This is a special way to carry on T. Joe’s dream and to further his legacy as a horseman and veterinary student by supporting similar dreams of aspiring veterinarians by providing financial assistance. The family appreciates the outpouring of love from our community during this difficult time. 

 The intentions of this memorial fund will be to assist a veterinarian medical student in their pursuit of veterinary medicine degree. Details will be released at a later date. Contributions can be made at https://www.nsba.com/how-to-contribute.
