Help, My Child Has Cancer

Let us encourage your family to NEGU!

The Rees family knows firsthand what it feels like to have a child fighting cancer and would love to encourage your entire family to “Never Ever Give Up” through ClubNEGU. ClubNEGU is a free program for all Courageous Kids that are actively fighting cancer, their SuperSiblings, and Courageous Parents, too! Each registered family receives fun recurring boosts of joy. These gifts are delivered for the sole purpose of wanting them to feel encouraged, bring them smiles, create priceless memories, and help them know they are not alone in this journey.

LA Galaxy Partners with NEGU for ‘Kick Childhood Cancer’ Initiative with Courageous Kids

It all started with Jessie’s bold wish at the very beginning — to encourage every kid actively fighting cancer to Never Ever Give Up.

That’s still our mission today. Since 2014, we have had the honor of encouraging over 23,300 courageous families through ClubNEGU. Each ClubNEGU family receives a variety of recurring boosts that are jam-packed with hope, joy, and love! These boosts of encouragement that are sent out are packed to bring love, encouragement, and support into your home. We hope our message is clear, we NEGU for you!

PLEASE NOTE: ClubNEGU provides encouragement & support for families that have a child actively fighting cancer in the United States & Canada. We truly wish we had the resources to help any child but our mission is to encourage kids fighting cancer to Never Ever Give Up!

I affirm that I am the parent/legal guardian of any above-referenced child and that I have full authority to grant the releases, waivers, and consents herein, including rights in his or her Likeness. I further agree that the foregoing provision shall apply to, without limitation, any Likeness (or any part thereof) provided by the Releasor to the Foundation, or uploaded by the Releasor to any Foundation media or social media platform, whether concurrent with the execution of this consent or at any time thereafter. I also consent to the digital manipulation or distortion of any such Likeness, including, without restriction, any changes or alterations as to color, size, shape, perspective, context, foreground and background.
