Jessy’s Toy Box is a non-profit organization that collects toys, gift cards, and other items that help kids that are at the hospital going through infusion treatment or Surgical procedures. This was started by Jessy himself, in 2015. Our goal is to distribute toys to hospital and infusion centers all over the United States.
Sadly Jessy Passed away on February 19, 2018 at 8 years old, after his 2nd open heart surgery. Before he went into surgery Jessy asked “If my heart gets better, can I still do Jessy’s Toy Box?” As a promise his parents made, Jessy’s Tox Box will continue and grow as Jessy had dreamed of along with the help of others, we will continue to gather and take toys to hospitals.
Our partnership with Jessy’s Toy Box began several years ago, when we first learned about the organization’s mission and the impact it was having on the community. We were inspired by the dedication and passion of the organization’s founder, Jessy, and knew that we wanted to get involved and support their efforts in any way we could.
Since then, we have worked closely with Jessy’s Toy Box to organize toy drives and other fundraising events, and to spread awareness about the organization and its mission. Our members are deeply committed to this cause, and we are always looking for new and innovative ways to support Jessy’s Toy Box and the children and families it serves.
Every year PSE OHIO hosts an annual “Jog for Jessy” ball to raise money for this amazing organization. We are thrilled to announce that we raised over $550 in 2022 for Jessy’s Toy Box last year at our ball! Here are some photos:
