Erik Rees, Jessie’s daddy, recently shared with our fans and followers tips on “How to Stuff the Perfect Mini JoyJar”. With so many wonderful people wanting to help support Jessie’s mission, Mini JoyJars were created as a way to spread more JOY to our children, in our communities, and with our families and friends.
The Jessie Rees Foundation now offers compassionate groups, businesses,corporations the opportunity to get involved and give back to their communities and to help children fighting cancer around the world. By hosting a Mini JoyJar Stuffing event as a team building activity or service project, your employees or group members will have the opportunity to work together towards a goal, troubleshoot through important steps required to stuff joy for kids and have the opportunity to put smiles on hundreds of little faces.
Jessie had some rules for stuffing the perfect JoyJar and Erik shares those tips in the video above. Some of Jessie’s specifics—(1) no cheesy toys! (2) Jars need to be filled to the rim with toys–little to no air. (3) Toys should be hospital approved and age appropriate. (4) all JoyJars should include one of Jessie’s NEGU bracelets–encouragement to Never Ever Give Up.
