Lamar Jackson Praises Taylor Swift for Her Generosity in Donating $100,000 to Support Young Cancer Patient

Lamar Jackson, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, has publicly praised Taylor Swift for her incredible generosity after the pop superstar donated $100,000 to help a young fan named Lilah, who is fighting a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. Jackson, known for his own charitable efforts, expressed admiration for Swift’s kindness and her impact on the life of the brave young girl.

Taylor’s generosity is absolutely amazing,” Jackson said in a recent statement. “To see someone use their platform and their success to help someone in need is truly inspiring. She’s not just a global icon — she’s someone who genuinely cares and is making a difference in Lilah’s life.”

The donation was made in October 2025, after Swift learned about Lilah’s battle with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rare and difficult-to-treat brain tumor. The family of Lilah, a young Swift fan, had been raising funds for her treatment and care, and Swift’s contribution has made a massive impact, providing financial support for medical bills and future treatments.

“I was so moved when I heard Lilah’s story,” Swift shared in a post on her social media. “She’s an incredible little girl, and I hope this contribution can help her get the care she needs. I’m sending her all my love and strength in her fight.”

Jackson echoed these sentiments, highlighting how important it is for public figures to support those in need, especially children facing life-threatening illnesses. “Taylor has always been known for her kindness, and this just adds to the incredible work she’s done outside of her music,” he said. “She’s using her position in the world to uplift and inspire, and that’s something we all can learn from.”
