Giving Back: Dan Jansen Foundation
Our Commitment, Our Legacy
At Dan Jansen Eyewear, we believe a true legacy is not only about achievements, but also about giving back. That’s why we proudly support the Dan Jansen Foundation, created to uplift families, empower athletes, and provide hope where it’s needed most.
The Heart Behind the Foundation
The foundation was inspired by a deeply personal story. On the day Dan Jansen was set to compete in the 1988 Olympics, he lost his sister Jane to leukemia. In her honor, he created the Jane Jansen Beres Family Aid Fund, which has since supported over 1,200 families facing cancer. The fund focuses on non-medical needs — from rent and utilities to groceries and transportation — helping families find stability during life’s hardest moments.
More Than a Fund — A Movement
Since its start, the Dan Jansen Foundation has donated over $1.2 million to families and causes. Its impact extends beyond financial aid:
Supporting youth sports and speedskating programs to help aspiring athletes.
Partnering in bone marrow registry drives and community initiatives.
Championing resilience and inspiration for families everywhere.
Through Jansen Eyewear, every purchase you make helps strengthen this mission. Together, we can keep Dan’s vision alive: performance, clarity, and compassion in motion.
