The Need Is Real…

100000
That’s how many children are diagnosed with cancer every year around the world. Help us send Jessie’s JoyJars to every one of them!

Worldwide, 300,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. And in the U.S., more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease—more than AIDS, asthma, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies and diabetes combined.

What are JoyJars?

JoyJars®, n. 1. 64oz plastic jars that are filled with hospital approved toys and tons of fun (nothing cheesy) 2. Symbol of everything Jessie stood for; hope, joy and love 3. A powerful boost that encourages children battling cancer and lets them know “WE CARE”.

“We just wanted to send a special note to say thank you …. you won’t ever know what this gift means to our family or how much your JoyJars and boxes have helped to brighten our spirits…during Travis’ ongoing battle with his brain tumor.” -Travis’ Mother

Help, My Child Has Cancer

Let us encourage your family to NEGU!

The Rees family knows first hand 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 ClubNEGU family receives a fun boost of hope, joy, and love each month. 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.

Memory Canvases

Memory Canvases are a 30×30 wrapped canvas with a special personalized design to remember your courageous hero. Memory Canvases allow families the opportunity to select several words that best represent their courageous child.  These special canvases are for families living in the United States, that have had a child move to heaven from cancer under the age of 18.  Due to limited resources, for families living outside the United States we will make your customized Memory Canvas design and email it to you for your own printing.

Each ClubNEGU family receives a variety of boosts every month 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!

ClubNEGU Sponsorship
On average we spend $500 to make sure all of your ClubNEGU packages are stuffed with love and arrive on time.  To help us cover these costs, we would like your permission to share with our supporters the opportunity to sponsor your family’s packages.  The ONLY things that are shared with a supporter is the state you live in, the first name of your courageous child and the type of cancer they are fighting.  No other information is shared with them.  Do we have your permission to find a ClubNEGU sponsor for your family?
