Although Jack Banks plays for the New York Silverbacks he still calls his home Oakland, California. Every year Banks partners with Children's Hospital Oakland to provide fun and entertainment to the children staying there, as well as financial aid to the children's families. In the summer Banks teams up with other local celebrities, including other athletes as well as music and movie stars, to provide a weekend of live music and entertainment for the children and the hospital staff. The group takes over the parking lot to provide a fun outdoor environment for the children who are able to attend, and each and every celebrity also takes time to visit one on one with the children who are unable to leave their rooms. In the winter Jack Banks organizes a toy drive for the holidays so that every child can receive a special gift during a trying time in their lives. Banks also goes around to individual rooms and plays video games with the children, especially ISFL Football.
"These are trying times for the children and their families", Banks said during a recent interview. "If I can help even a little then I'm going to do it. I may play football in New York, but my heart will always be here in Oakland."
