Welcome to the PSC Conference! We are the Jessie Rees Foundation and our mission is to encourage kids fighting cancer to NEVER EVER GIVE UP (NEGU). This foundation was started by a 12 year old girl who was treated outpatient at Children's Hospital of Orange County. When she left one day after treatment, she was troubled that the other kids had to stay in the hospital. Her next words "How can we help them?" fueled the next 8 months of her life as she created the JoyJar.
The JoyJar is a 64oz jar stuffed completely to the brim with games and activities for children ages 0-18 years old to play with in the hospital. Some toys like beanies, socks, card games, plush animals, are meant to give these kids something to do while they are getting treatment in the hospital, but more importantly to let them know they are no alone, ultimately building resiliency to fight this terrible disease.
Consider making a donation to sponsor these JoyJars! For every $25 donation, we are able to send 1 JoyJar to a kid fighting cancer. Unfortunately, we are faced with the statistic that 400,000 kids are told a year, they have cancer. Together, we can make a difference to spread JOY to kids fighting cancer and encourage them to NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
