JoyJars For Kids

Are you looking for a special, meaningful birthday gift for your friend or loved one? JOYJARS are a great way to send a special gift of JOY to your loved one while ensuring that 12 children fighting cancer receive a much needed boost of JOY. During her 10-month fight with two inoperable brain tumors, 12-year old Jessie Rees founded JOYJARS as a way to help encourage other kids fighting cancer to NEGU- Never Ever Give Up. She knew that cancer could make a child feel lonely and limited, and with her JOYJARS, Jessie was able to put smiles on thousands of little faces.

12-year old Jessie Rees courageously fought two inoperable brain tumors for 10 months.  During her fight, she founded JoyJars as a way to help encourage other courageous kids fighting cancer to NEGU- Never Ever Give up and to let them know that they were supported and loved. JoyJars are plastic-filled jars filled to the rim with hospital-approved toys and are sent to children fighting cancer around the world. To-date, over 50,000 children have received Jessie’s JoyJars.

Currently, 46 children every day are told they have cancer. We lose a child to cancer every 4 hours. There are currently over 500,000 children affected by cancer today. All of these children need to be encouraged and to know that they are not alone. Will you join us in encouraging all children fighting cancer to NEGU- Never Ever Give Up?
