A Message from
Global Patient Week 2021
As Bristol Myers Squibb celebrates its 7th annual Global Patient Week, the entire workforce comes together to pause and honor our patients. We also use the opportunity to give back to the communities where we live and work. And we celebrate the amazing patients who have had their lives transformed through life-saving, innovative medicines and the promise of our leading edge science, pipeline and portfolio to reach even more patients.
One aspect of our celebration is how we give back and volunteer, helping people in our communities in need. Thank you for supporting the incredible work the Jessie Rees Foundation does every day encouraging Courageous Kids fighting cancer to Never Ever Give Up!
We are so grateful for Compassionate Partners such as Bristol Myers Squibb and their commitment to further Jessie’s mission to encourage kids fighting cancer to Never Ever Give Up!
NEGU, Erik (Daddy) Rees
OUR FOREVER INSPIRATION
The Jessie Rees Foundation was, and always will be, inspired by one courageous and compassionate 12 year old little girl. Her name, Jessica Joy Rees, better known as “Jessie”. Jessie was a faith-filled, beautiful, athletic, caring and loving girl who courageously fought cancer (DIPG) from March 3, 2011 to January 5, 2012. She loved her family very much and her puppy Mr. Moe. She created JoyJars® and was the first one to coin the term “NEGU®”, which was her motto and message to everyone. Jessie had one “wish”, which is the mission of her foundation.
