History
Everything we do is to continue the vision of Jonathan Schneider.
Jonathan was born March 20, 1990 and raised in San Antonio, TX. He graduated from Tom C. Clark High School in 2008 and Texas Tech University in 2013. He was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity and loved nothing more than spending time with family, friends and his pup Pooch.
In February of 2015, Jonathan began showing signs of what was thought to be vertigo. After extensive testing and MRI scanning, a biopsy discovered a Grade 4 Glioblastoma brain tumor. Following his diagnosis, Jonathan underwent traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation as well as alternative methods in nutrition and holistic cancer-fighting approaches. Through it all, Jonathan never quit.
During his fight, Jonathan inspired everyone he met. His infectious personality and positive outlook was nothing short of motivating to all those who knew him. Our flagship event, The Oasis Golf Tournament, was created by Jonathan in 2015 with the goal to send children affected by cancer to a getaway at Camp Discovery. His mission was to continuously grow funding to pay for as many trips to camp as possible. To date, the Oasis Golf Tournament has sent hundreds of kids to Camp Discovery.
Today, his legacy lives on in the philanthropy he set into motion with the You Gotta Want It Charitable Foundation that will continue to support Camp Discovery, as well as our new AYA program in San Antonio.
Jonathan's strength and character through his battle is something to be revered and remembered by all. He continues to inspire his friends and family every day and will always be our hero.
