The Need Is Real…
100000
That’s how many children are diagnosed with cancer every year around the world. Help us send Jessie’s JoyJars to every one of them!
Thank you for donating!
Worldwide, 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. And in the U.S., more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease—more than AIDS, asthma, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies and diabetes combined.
What are JoyJars?
JoyJars®, n. 1. 64oz plastic jars that are filled with hospital approved toys and tons of fun (nothing cheesy) 2. Symbol of everything Jessie stood for; hope, joy and love 3. A powerful boost that encourages children battling cancer and lets them know “WE CARE”.

Help, My Child Has Cancer
Let us encourage your family to NEGU!
The Rees family knows firsthand what it feels like to have a child fighting cancer and would love to encourage your entire family to “Never Ever Give Up” through ClubNEGU. ClubNEGU is a free program for all Courageous Kids that are actively fighting cancer, their SuperSiblings, and Courageous Parents, too! Each registered family receives fun recurring boosts of joy. These gifts are delivered for the sole purpose of wanting them to feel encouraged, bring them smiles, create priceless memories, and help them know they are not alone in this journey.

These special canvases are for families living in the United States, that have had a child move to heaven from cancer under the age of 18.

It all started with Jessie’s bold wish at the very beginning — to encourage every kid actively fighting cancer to Never Ever Give Up.
That’s still our mission today. Since 2014, we have had the honor of encouraging over 23,300 courageous families through ClubNEGU. Each ClubNEGU family receives a variety of recurring boosts that are jam-packed with hope, joy, and love! These boosts of encouragement that are sent out are packed to bring love, encouragement, and support into your home. We hope our message is clear, we NEGU for you!
PLEASE NOTE: ClubNEGU provides encouragement & support for families that have a child actively fighting cancer in the United States & Canada. We truly wish we had the resources to help any child but our mission is to encourage kids fighting cancer to Never Ever Give Up!
