A Spark of Generosity - We are deeply honored and grateful to Igniting Sparks for Charity / A Community Funding Project and their two inspiring young philanthropists for their generous donation to the Jesse J Sanctuary Foundation.

Your gift is more than a donation—it’s a radiant act of compassion that helps us continue our mission of providing cancer patients and their families free nature getaways - nurturing hope and fostering healing through gentle care.

To see such empathy and action from young changemakers fills us with hope. You’ve lit a spark that will grow into comfort, connection, and renewal for those who need it most.

From all of us at Jesse J Sanctuary Foundation:
Thank you for believing in our mission and helping it bloom. 🌿

Praying this is the breakthrough we have been waiting for. Fingers crossed 🤞

So proud of you all making a difference in your community. 🙏💕

While we await the final tally of sales figures, initial reports indicate a resoundingly successful event and we accomplished a few goals set out that we want to share:

• We secured a new corporate sponsor for the splash pad
• We were contacted to apply for a high impact grant for the splashpad
• We've located a new possible land opportunity for the splashpad
•Watch for the article in the Indianola Living Magazine in August covering MMP
•We were able to cross-promote our recipient organizations to increase their followers in further support of their unique missions.
•We were asked to run for Mayor. 😉 (True Story!)

The community's participation was instrumental in making this campaign a success and elevating awareness for our organizations, so thank you all who came out!

We would also like to express our deepest appreciation to all of our staff for their tireless work and commitment.

Checks will be processed and issued by the end of the month! Thank you.
