WHY WE SPREAD HOPE, JOY & LOVE…
St. Baldrick’s, one of the leaders in the childhood cancer space, reports that each year over 175,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide. While others strive to find a cure…the Jessie Rees Foundation is all about giving “CARE” to each child and their entire family. We will care until there is a cure. Help us care for and encourage every child fighting cancer to Never Ever Give Up!
Jessie created her fun-filled JoyJars® as a way to send hope and joy to her peers fighting cancer. Jessie knew that fighting cancer made you feel lonely and limited.
She also knew “love” stuffed in a jar was a great remedy. Jessie personally sent over 3,000 JoyJars to kids during her fight. Over 123,000 JoyJars have been stuffed and sent to courageous kids worldwide.
We are honored to have partnerships with over 275 children’s hospitals around the world that desire to see courageous kids encouraged to Never Ever Give Up!
We are also honored to have many professional, Olympic, college and elite high school athletes going out of their way to help us encourage kids to never ever give up.
