One additional thing that will take place on April 26th at HEROES... Hot Wheels or Matchbox Car Charity Collection for Kids with Cancer at Bug-In!
Please join us, Susy Herbert of PowderPuff Racing and Lisa Piraino of DKK with a charity collection for The Jessie Rees Foundation during the Bug In Weekend. Recognizing our many friendships within this wonderful community of car enthusiasts, Lisa & I have chosen to organize an effort to help this inspirational foundation reach their goal of collecting 5000 SINGLE pack Matchbox or Hot Wheel Cars for filling their JoyJars.
Website is joyjars.negu.org.
We will be collecting new, unopened, single pack Hot Wheel or Matchbox cars. Single packs have been designated by the foundation so they may fit inside their JoyJars. 5 pack items, can not be collected due to their large size. Please also be sure that they are in the original blister packaging or they can not be collected or shared with children fighting cancer. We are hoping to collect an awesome amount of cars to help reach their goal.
The PowderPuff Booth will be collecting donations during Bug In Weekend. Look for the bright pink PowderPuff awning with the huge blue balloons.

The Jessie Rees Foundation was inspired by 12 year old Jessie Joy Rees. Jessie was a beautiful, smart and compassionate girl who fought two brain tumors from March 3, 2011 to January 5, 2012.
On that painful day, Jessie left an amazing legacy of love that her family and foundation now continue.
During her 10 month courageous fight, Jessie focused on spreading hope, joy and love to other kids fighting cancer. She knew that cancer made kids feel lonely and limited. And so she chose to share her message to
NEGU (Never Ever Give Up).
She stuffed and sent her JoyJars to over 3,000 kids personally. JoyJars are 64oz plastic jars stuffed full of love and fun age appropriate toys that have now become a symbol of hope, joy and love as they are sent to courageous kids all over the world.
Let’s Do This. We appreciate your support.
