This Summer is the perfect time to support kids fighting cancer around the world! At the Jessie Rees Foundation there are lots of opportunities for you to get involved! We have been inspired by the compassion of people, corporations, athletes, teams, schools and clubs across the world. Their involvement has made us who we are today. Please find below some opportunities to get involved and help encourage kids fighting cancer to Never Ever Give Up. We truly are better together!
HOST A JOYDRIVE
Hosting a JoyDrive with your fellow classmates or coworkers is a great opportunity to collect those special toys that are put into JoyJars. When you commit to hosting a JoyDrive, we provide you with a list of hospital-approved toys and some basic instructions. Whether you want to collect one item, like Crayola Crayons or a variety of toys, it’s up to you!
HOST A COURAGEOUS CUPCAKES STAND
Hosting a Courageous Cupcakes Stand is a fun and easy way to raise more resources for kids fighting cancer. A cupcake stand can compliment just about any event and activity, and who doesn’t love a cupcake! When you sign up to host a Courageous Cupcakes Stand, you receive a mini cupcake prep kit which gives you all the tools you need to host a successful fundraiser.
TEAM NEGU CLUBS
If you are a high school or middle schooler, consider starting a TeamNEGU Club on campus! TeamNEGU Club Members can work together to plan and implement fundraising and awareness campaigns for their student body and community.
COMPASSION CHANGE DRIVE
Did you know that a 16oz water bottle filled with dimes is equivalent to $100? By hosting a Compassionate Change Drive, you simply collect dimes and fill empty 16oz water bottles with them. Each water bottle filled with dimes sends 5 of Jessie’s JoyJars to Courageous Kids! Compassion Change Drives are great for schools, clubs and any group of people simply wanting to collect loose change to help spread JOY to children fighting cancer.
