Two young girls, members of a local 4-H division, stepped up to the plate to support their peers fighting cancer and to promote childhood cancer awareness in their community. 4-H, a national youth development organization, is dedicated to empowering youth to make a difference in their communities and to be the catalyst for positive change.
Making a difference is just what Jessica and Bryn did! 4-H members participate in what’s called Presentation Day–an opportunity to educate others. Jessica and Bryn chose Jessie’s wish and JoyJars for their presentation. Introducing Jessie and her story to a panel of judges, Jessica and Bryn shared details about Jessie’s Foundation, information about childhood cancers and demonstrated to the group how to fill the perfect JoyJar–filled to the rim with age appropriate, hospital approved toys!
Jessica and Bryn won 1st prize at Presentation Day and will soon be heading to the next level of competition, County! Not only were they awarded for their fantastic presentation, the girls were also approached by other organizations and schools inquiring about presentations for their groups and students. Jessica and Bryn, you are our future of compassionate leaders. Our hats are off to you. Thank you for all that you do to support children fighting cancer.
