Our Story
V for Victory began in 2017 after a local Jacksonville business owner’s son was diagnosed with cancer. A cancer diagnosis shakes a family to its core, confronting them with unthinkable uncertainties and challenges, while the outside world and everyday responsibilities continue to move forward. This business owner, who is an owner of V Pizza, witnessed firsthand how deeply the entire family is affected when a loved one battles cancer and how overwhelming it can be to focus on simple tasks like lawn care or cooking a meal. Leveraging his business background, he developed a unique service delivery model: a nonprofit dedicated to mobilizing local businesses and individuals to support families in their community. This life-changing experience forged an unbreakable bond between V for Victory and V Pizza, positively impacting the lives of hundreds of families battling cancer. As V Pizza continues to grow and expand into new communities, so does V for Victory’s reach and its ability to serve and assist families facing cancer.
Our Mission
is to cultivate relationships with local businesses to provide resources and services to meet the "everyday" needs of local families and individuals battling cancer.
V for Victory coordinates services such as car repairs for local families so that they have transportation to treatment; installing safety bars in a residence for an individual who is experiencing a loss of balance and suffered severe falls; or coordinating lawn care and home cleaning services for a family in and out of the hospital so they can focus their attention on treatments and their health.
