BECOME A NEGU ATHLETE
Our NEGU Athletes are given three great ways to use their platforms to show kids fighting cancer they are cheering for them. These opportunities are for high school, college and professional athletes.
BECOME A NEGU ALL-STAR
In addition to the above opportunities, our NEGU All-Stars are given three more amazing ways to maximize their platforms and show kids fighting cancer they are cheering for them on social media and in person.
*All-Stars are selected college athletes, professional athletes and influencers.
Wear It
We would love to send you a NEGU wristband to wear on and off the field. Please fill out the form below to request a wristband and our Athlete & All-Star Specialist, Maddie Dilfer will fulfill that request.
Once you receive your wristband, we encourge you to post any photos of you wearing it on social media and tag us at @teamnegu
Share It
If your team members want to join in and want to also wear one of our NEGU wristbands we would be happy to mail them to you. Please fill out the form below to request any wristbands and our Athlete & All-Star Specialist, Maddie Dilfer will fulfill that request.
Once you receive your wristbands, we encourage you to send us a picture of you and your team wearing their wristbands for us to share on social media. If you share any pictures on social media, please feel free to tag us at @teamnegu
Show It
We would love for you to show your NEGU spirit by wearing your wristband or any NEGU gear you have. Whether its on the field, or off the field, Courageous Kids everywhere are encouraged when they spot that familiar wristband they also receive in JoyJars
We also encourage you to post any photos of you wearing any gear on social media and tag us at @teamnegu
Also, during Childhood Cancer Awareness month in September, we encourage people around the world to take the NEGU Hands Challenge to help raise awareness of childhood cancer. In addition, we ask everyone to encourage their family, friends and followers to take on the NEGU Hands Challenge too.
Say It
Simply record a “selfie” style video on your phone encouraging kids fighting cancer to NEGU. After you have recoded your short video, email it to our Athlete & All-Star Specialist, Maddie Dilfer at maddie@jessie.org so we can add it to our iNEGU smart phone app.
Here is a sample script, “Hi my name is ______________. I play (insert your position) for (insert your team). I hear you are a super courageous kid. I also want to encourage you and your family to NEVER EVER GIVE UP!”
Deliver It
As an All-Star, you can help personally deliver JoyJars to kids fighting cancer at your local children’s hospital. These incredible visits typically last two hours and give you the opportunity to encourage kids fighting cancer in person.
Hospital visits can take place during the season or during the off season. You can also bring a few teammates with you if they are also interested in getting involved. To learn more please fill out the form below and our Athlete & All-Star Specialist, Maddie Dilfer will be in touch with more information on how you can join in on our next hospital visit.
Dedicate It
We are honored to have NFL players display “NEGU” on their cleats during the annual My Cause My Cleats campaign. We also love seeing other athletes display “NEGU” on their baseball gloves, hats and shoes. If you are an NFL player wishing to dedicate your cleats to kids fighting cancer please email maddie@jessie.org
You can also choose to dedicate a game to a child fighting cancer. All of these efforts allow kids fighting cancer to know you are on their team. We encourage you to send us a picture or tag us at @teamNEGU if you support in any of these ways!
