Gloucester Fishing Community Preservation Fund
The Lily Jean Fund
On Friday, January 30, 2026, the Gloucester fishing vessel Lily Jean sank approximately 22 miles from Cape Ann, resulting in the tragic loss of the seven lives of its crew.
In the wake of this tragedy, there have been overwhelming expressions of support for the families of those who were lost, along with requests for a clear and trusted way to provide direct financial assistance.
The Lily Jean Fund has been created for this purpose. The fund accepts tax-deductible contributions and distributes the proceeds in equal amounts to the families of the seven crew members who perished due to the loss of the Lily Jean.
One hundred percent (100%) of all contributions received will be distributed directly to the families impacted by this tragedy.
The Lily Jean Fund is a project of the Gloucester Fishing Community Preservation Fund and is hosted by Cape Ann Savings Bank.
