Jon Cooper is deeply committed to making a positive impact in the Tampa Bay community, prioritizing charitable efforts alongside his coaching responsibilities. He founded 'Coop’s Catch for Kids,' an annual charity fishing tournament that has raised over $1 million for pediatric cancer research. Cooper views this initiative as a way to give back to the city that has supported him throughout his career. He is inspired by the resilience of young cancer patients, such as Remi Sutherland, and feels fortunate to have a stable position in a profession where such longevity is rare. Cooper also established the J5 Foundation to further support local families affected by illness, demonstrating his dedication to helping those in need.
