Who doesn’t love cupcakes? Join us in honoring Jessie’s love for these yummy treats by hosting a Courageous Cupcake Stand! It’s a fun and easy way to raise resources for kids fighting cancer.

We’ll give you all the tools you need to make your stand a success. Let’s bake a difference together!

Compassion Change Project

Start a Compassion Change Drive and help spread joy to children fighting cancer! Collecting loose change has never been easier. Simply fill empty 16oz water bottles with dimes. Every full bottle = $100, which sends 4 of Jessie’s JoyJars to Courageous Kids. Compassion Change Drives are perfect for schools, clubs, and any group that wants to make a difference.

JoyDrive

Want to bring joy to Courageous Kids fighting cancer and their SuperSibs? Host a JoyDrive with your friends, classmates, or coworkers!

We’ll provide you with simple instructions to get started. Let’s spread smiles and joy together!

You don’t have to be an expert artist – just let your creativity flow and color some kindness onto our cards. We’ll send you instructions on how to decorate them, and then we’ll deliver them to the kids who need them most. Let’s put some smiles on those brave faces together!

Plus, you’ll be making a huge impact in the lives of these amazing kids!

Attention all crafty folks! Let’s honor Jessie’s legacy by spreading joy and comfort to Courageous Kids fighting cancer.
