Who is
JACOB BARKER?
The Jacob Barker Music Fest was created by Ronnie and Melissa Barker, the parents of Jacob Barker. At a young age, Jacob was diagnosed with retinoblastoma in one eye, receiving multiple surgeries to remove the cancerous cells. Thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Jacob and his family received a trip to Disney World during this difficult time.
In response to this amazing gift, Jacob’s father, Ronnie Barker, sought to raise money for children within the Make-A-Wish program. In 2016, the 1st Annual Jacob Barker Music Fest collected over $8,000 for children awaiting the necessary funds to have their wish granted. Today, the Jacob Barker Music Fest continues raising money, fostering support, and increasing awareness for children facing life-threatening conditions.
Having overcome cancer, Jacob Barker and parents Ronnie and Melissa continue to reside in West Tennessee, impacting children in their community through the Make-A-Wish program.
