Giving Back with Joy
In addition to the awards, the evening will feature a silent auction to benefit the Jessie Rees Foundation. Jessie Rees, known lovingly as “Jessie,” was a kind, athletic, and faith-filled girl. She courageously fought cancer (DIPG) from March 3, 2011, to January 5, 2012. During her treatment, Jessie’s compassion for others shone through. She asked her parents a simple question: “How can we help them?” Jessie was referring to other children in long-term, in-patient care at Children’s Hospital of Orange County.
With support from her parents and the hospital, Jessie created JoyJars®, 64-ounce plastic jars filled with new toys and games. She stuffed over 3,000 of them with help from family and friends before she passed away. These bundles of joy carried her message to the world: “NEGU®,” which stands for Never Ever Give Up.
Getting Involved in the Cause
Our very own Ryan Cooper, Senior attorney at Fielding Law and member of the OCTLA Board of Directors, will be donating a signed football from star athlete and reigning MVP of the NFL, Josh Allen to the gala auction. As a firm, we are honored to support this incredible event and cause by sponsoring a table at the Top Gun Awards Gala.
This is more than a night out, it is a chance to give back to the community and be a part of something bigger. Spots are limited, so click here to register.
