A Message from
Swinerton Foundation’s 8th Annual Fall Giving Challenge
Our goal is to strategically focus on non-profits that offer assistance to our cities’ most vulnerable while ensuring the health and safety of Swinerton employees.
Swinerton has long been dedicated to positively impacting our industry, our communities, and our employees. We believe in building better responsibly, and we do so through our commitment to economic and workforce development, philanthropy, safety, health and wellness, innovation, collaboration, and ensuring we are environmentally conscious in all of our operations. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is not merely a department; it is the very DNA of our organization.
We are excited to announce that not only will your donation make a meaningful impact, but the Swinerton Foundation will also be matching your donation 3:1!
We are so grateful for Compassionate Partners such as Swinerton and their dedication and passion 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.

Send a JoyJar

Kids are diagnosed with cancer each day in the US.
Every Courageous Kid has a name, a story and a loving family doing all they can to support them. EVERY DAY, in the United States, 46 families are told their child has cancer. We believe every one of these children and their families deserve to be encouraged to NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
Help these courageous fighters smile, feel loved, and encouraged by sending them Jessie’s JoyJars. One JoyJar costs $25 so please feel free to send as many as you would like! Thank you for creating priceless memories for Courageous Kids and their families. Don’t forget that Swinerton is matching 3:1 for your donation which means three times the smiles!

Color Care Cards for Courageous Kids
During Jessie’s 10 month battle with cancer she focused on encouraging other kids fighting cancer to NEGU – NEVER EVER GIVE UP. Thank you for joining the team who wants to continue spreading that encouragement through the creation of brightly decorated Care Cards.
Please take your time with these cards – quality and heart are more important than quantity. Imagine the joy and encouragement you are spreading when a child in the midst of fighting cancer opens a package containing cards exploding with color and supportive messages from someone they have never met! The cards may just find their way to the walls of their bedroom or hospital room as an ongoing reminder of your love and encouragement!
Once you have completed your Care Card filled with uplifting words please email it to: bobbi@jessie.org or mail it to: Jessie Rees Foundation-Swinerton OCLA, 9701 Research Drive, Suite 150, Irvine, CA 92618
