St. Baldrick’s, one of the leaders in the childhood cancer space, reports that each year over 300,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide. While others strive to find a cure…the Jessie Rees Foundation is all about giving “CARE” to each child and their entire family. We will care until there is a cure. Help us care for and encourage every child fighting cancer to Never Ever Give Up!
Jessie’s JoyJars are one of the many ways the Jessie Rees Foundation encourages kids fighting cancer to Never Ever Give Up. Jessie created her fun-filled JoyJars® as a way to send hope and joy to her peers fighting cancer. Jessie knew that fighting cancer made you feel lonely and limited. She also knew “love” stuffed in a jar was a great remedy. Jessie personally sent over 3,000 JoyJars to kids during her fight. Over 200,000 JoyJars have been stuffed and sent to courageous kids worldwide.
Jessie had some rules for stuffing the perfect JoyJar…
1. NO cheesy toys!
2. Jars need to be filled to the rim with toys–little to no air.
3. Toys should be hospital approved and age appropriate.
4. JoyJars should include one of Jessie’s NEGU bracelets–encouragement to Never Ever Give Up!!!
