Jessica’s Car Wash for a Cure
A 100% volunteer group raising money for Leukemia Research.

It’s great to introduce kids to fundraising that is fun. We recently were shared some photos from the 2008 Carnival for a Cure, enjoy the slideshow.

In 2009 Jessica’s Car Wash for a Cure was a great experience…relive it in photos and watch for new information coming soon for 2010.

Look at how much fun was had at the JSM Bowl-a-rama on July 19th!  Thank you again for all your support, and we hope to see everyone again next year!

Thank you to everyone who came out to bowl and/or volunteer for the Jessica Shayne Magid Bowl-a-rama on Sunday July 19th! The event was a success because everyone enjoyed the day of bowling, fun, friends and family and because your contributions and participation brings us closer to finding a cure for leukemia.

 From Carli and Evan Kander…queue Car Wash Song!

“We are hoping to find people who are willing to host a car wash at their house on any available day this summer. If you are able to do so, you can choose a day (generally Saturdays and Sundays work best). You will need to provide car wash supplies. We will send you a copy of a flyer that you could hand out to family, friends, and neighbors. The cost for car washes will be donations only. The event is more fun when a lot of people help out at each car wash.

Feel free to get creative with other possible ways to raise money. For example, you may have younger siblings, cousins, or neighbors who could have a lemonade stand for donations. We greatly appreciate anyone who is willing to help out and raise money for a great cause. Please pass this on to anyone that you think would be interested in participating”.

Any questions can be directed to info@jsm.org.

Listen to the classic “Car Wash” song…
