It’s inspiring to contribute to something larger than yourself, and the Jessie Rees Foundation is fortunate to spread JOY to Courageous Kids and families around the world with the help of Compassionate Corporations like Anthem!
Jessie’s Daddy, Erik said, “We wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for Anthem. Their compassion for kids fighting cancer has exponentially grown our impact. I’m honored to not only be an Anthem member but a grateful dad.”
Teaming up with Anthem means their associates learn about Jessie’s NEGU message, stuff JoyJars and some even got to personally deliver Jessie’s JoyJars to Courageous Kids fighting cancer in the hospital.
- “Since 2012, the Anthem has teamed up with the Jessie Rees Foundation to spread joy to kids fighting cancer across the US. They have offered us wonderful ways to engage our associates in many states while increasing our social responsibility efforts. I strongly suggest any corporation that desires to make their community a better place to team up with the Jessie Rees Foundation. When you do, your company, your leadership and your employees will experience new levels of impact and joy.”
- – Pam Kehaly, President, Anthem
Anthem associates have stuffed over 9,000 of Jessie’s JoyJars since 2012. After getting the opportunity to hand deliver one of Jessie’s JoyJars to a Courageous Kid, Anthem Associate Truc Tang said, “It was really a heartwarming and humbling experience to meet all these kids who are fighting the good fight. They were all so happy to get the JoyJars and get a little extra attention. Being there, I could really appreciate the magnitude of the work that the Jesse Rees Foundation is doing and how Anthem is supporting that.”
Because of the support from Compassionate Corporations like Anthem, there are Courageous Kids with smiles around the world receiving boosts of JOY and encouragement to NEVER EVER GIVE UP! We encourage Compassionate Corporations to get involved with our team building activities that truly bring everyone together for the care of children fighting cancer.
