Start a Fundraiser
Ready to make a difference for Courageous Kids fighting cancer? Get creative and fundraise your way with our online platform! Choose from our list of ideas or create your own. Every dollar you raise helps us send JoyJars to kids who need them most. We can’t do it without you! So, let’s roll up our sleeves and show these kids that they’re not alone. Together, we can bring joy and hope to their brave journey!
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. You can set up your stand at a school event, a neighborhood block party, or just about anywhere. The best part? Cupcakes go with everything! 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 make it easy for you – just choose from our hospital-approved list of new toys and collect as many as you can. Crayola Crayons or action figures – it’s your call! We’ll provide you with simple instructions to get started. Let’s spread smiles and joy together!
Care Cards
Calling all coloring enthusiasts and wordsmiths! Join us in spreading love and hope to Courageous Kids fighting cancer. It’s a volunteer opportunity that’s perfect for all ages and groups! 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!
Amazon Wish List
Want to help Courageous Kids fighting cancer but not sure how to start? It’s easy – just check out our Amazon Wishlist and send in new, hospital-approved toys! These toys fit perfectly in our JoyJars and bring so much joy and comfort to the kids. Plus, they’re super easy to find! So, let’s put a smile on these brave fighters’ faces and show them that we care. Your small act of kindness can make a HUGE difference!
Calling all Super Scouts! Let’s team up and spread some JOY to Courageous Kids fighting cancer! You can earn an exclusive NEGU patch by hosting a fundraiser or a community-wide JoyDrive to collect toys. It’s easy, fun, and it teaches you to think of others just like Jessie did. Plus, you’ll be making a huge impact in the lives of these amazing kids!
And if you’re in the Southern California area, come tour the JoyFactory and deliver your gifts of JOY in person. It’s an unforgettable experience that’ll fill your heart with happiness. So, let’s be super and spread some NEGU love together!
TeamNEGU Club
Hey students! Are you ready to make a real difference in the lives of Courageous Kids fighting cancer? Then it’s time to start a NEGU Club at your school! You and your friends can be the ones to bring joy, love, and hope to these amazing kids. Whether it’s fundraising, crafting, or just spreading the word, your impact can be HUGE! So don’t wait – let’s join forces and show these brave fighters that they’re not alone. The NEGU Club is waiting for you!
Attention all crafty folks! Let’s honor Jessie’s legacy by spreading joy and comfort to Courageous Kids fighting cancer. We’re looking for knitters, sewers, crocheters, and loomers to help make Brave Beanies for Jessie’s JoyJars. You can make just one, or round up your squad and make 100! Each beanie is a warm hug for a child going through a tough time. Let’s get our craft on and make a difference together!
