Jessie’s Circle is the Jessie Rees Foundation’s annual gathering of those that significantly contribute to helping us advance Jessie’s Wish. This includes generous individuals, families and corporations whose contributions mean so much to us and the Courageous Families they impact on a daily basis. 

During this special evening hosted at the JoyFactory, we shared some of the incredible 2018 accomplishments and some of the goals we have set for 2019. One goal for this year is that we hope to give away $500,000 during 25 Days of Love in December! That would mean 500 Courageous Families would be gifted $1,000 each in December!

Jessie’s Circle was extra special this year, because one of our NEGU Jr. Ambassadors, “Rock Star” Ayden came to share his NEGU story! He is truly an inspiration!

More than 80 people attended Jessie’s Circle at the JoyFactory this year. Erik Rees said, “I’m so humbled and honored to see so many caring people supporting Jessie’s Wish. We had 10 people at our first Jessie’s Circle gathering in 2011 and to see close to 100 now just make me feel like a proud father.”

We are so thankful for these compassionate hearts who give so generously to contribute to helping advance Jessie’s Wish to help every kid fighting cancer Never Ever Give Up!
