ALMOST AT $750K FOR ST. JUDE!

This year has been a whirlwind! I surpassed $700,000 for St. Jude, and am now at 747K total! This fundraising success comes from big projects and initiatives, but it also comes from my longstanding, extremely generous donors, some of whom have donated since I started this all at age nine. But this year also taught me a lot when my sweet friend Liv passed away from neuroblastoma. In her memory, I promised myself that I would keep fundraising until no child had to experience what she and her family did. As I’m gearing up to go back to school this weekend, I wanted to reflect on some great moments this past month for Juggling for Jude.

Starting strong with the third annual Penny Project: We had a small but mighty group of juggling fundraisers at this year’s event! The juggling was super fun, and we talked about the legacy of Liv, who continues to be my greatest inspiration. Special shout out to Kaylie (on the left) who has come to every Penny Project and always takes the opportunity to support St. Jude with her soccer and running skills! And of course to organizers Kierra and Lou (on the right) who continue to be great mentors and supporters! We even had some jugglers join via Zoom! Thanks to everyone who donated and participated.

Secondly, thanks to Zhive for featuring me and on their media platform sharing stories of young women activists, artists, advocates, and entrepreneurs! I’m honored to be a part of the Zhive community and to share my passion for pediatric cancer awareness, discovering purpose, the importance of health and wellness, and perseverance. You can hear me speak about these topics and more through my Zhive profile by visiting this link: https://www.zhive.community/hollis-belger.

As the new year begins, what better way to start it off with an act of generosity and purpose? Thank you all for the support, and best wishes for a healthy and happy 2024. I hope you’ll help me get to $750k this year!

As always, if you want to donate to support St. Jude’s mission to cure sick kids, you can do that here.

Thank you for your support, and Happy New Year!
