Go Jen Go Foundation

We had an incredible, inspiring, and uplifting day with Molly Grantham at her 2024 #BetOnYourselfSummit!   Absolutely grateful for Molly’s generosity in giving Go Jen Go the opportunity to set up a table and share our mission with attendees. And to Rhonda who is an awesome volunteer and supporter of GJG! We met a woman who rang the bell in December and wants to get involved, chatted with another who will be having a lumpectomy on Tuesday, and many who will join us at the Pink Cupcake Walk on October 5.   Join us at one of our upcoming events to get inspired and stay tuned for an announcement regarding Molly’s next summit!

At The Pink Bow Campaign Kickoff Event, we were met with a sweet surprise. A fellow attendee, Heather, presented us with a bag of money that her daughter, Graylie, and two friends, Ann and Mackenzie, raised at a lemonade stand they held for Go Jen Go.   “In 2022, we lost Graylie's grandmother [Mimi], and in 2023 her Aunt Monica to breast cancer. So, we are always looking for ways to support others going through breast cancer and bring awareness,” said Heather, Graylie’s mom   Many thanks to Graylie, Ann, Mackenzie and Heather for all your efforts to support Go Jen Go. You are a great example of turning lemons into wonderful support for our breast cancer community.

Our staff enjoyed the opportunity to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Novant Health Cancer Institute Kemp Bessant Center, catching up with dear friends, and meeting some of the awesome referral partners we work with.   Congratulations on serving over 50,000 local patients during their cancer journey. We are grateful to have such an amazing resource available to our breast cancer patients in need of additional support services.

Double the Fun! Through our Mood Williams Camp Scholarship Fund, these twins - Nebula & Nevaeh - served up great times and memories at the Town of Fort Mill’s Tennis Camp. Though they started off a bit nervous on the first day, they were all smiles and loving every minute on the court. By the end of the week, they did not want camp to end. The girls scored some bonus points by running into two of their classmates, taking turns hitting the ball, and enjoying games like "jail.” “My hope is that my kids will know the beauty and love in people and community through organizations like Go Jen Go. I hope that they strengthen their sibling connections and be there for each other as they go through life.” ~Stellina, the twins’ mom and a Go Jen Go grantee Many thanks to our generous donors for making camp experiences like this possible. By lifting the financial burden for parents facing breast cancer, we are giving their children a chance to just be kids and find some peace of mind.

Join us October 12 at Horse Lovers Day at Leatherman Lane. While enjoying a fun day at the event, use the time to get your annual mammogram with HerScan, which will be onsite.

It was a week of creativity for Junior, who attended Creatif's art camp in Fort Mill. After breaking his arm this summer, we helped him find another camp he could participate in. He loved this new experience. Junior got over the first-day nerves and ended up having a blast, enjoying every moment and smiling big with each new craft he created.    "Going to summer camp helped him overcome the initial fear of being in a new place and just time to be happy away from the worry about mom. The Mood Williams Camp Scholarship fund helped me provide him with a fun summer experience." ~Stellina, Junior’s mom and Go Jen Go Grantee    A breast cancer diagnosis impacts the entire family. Thanks to our supporters we can help we can ease the financial strain on parents, while allowing their children to focus on being kids. #gojengo #breastcancer #giveback #cltcharity #clt
