Legacy Luncheon

The June Jessee Memorial Foundation’s 4th annual, signature fundraising event, ‘Legacy Luncheon’, cancelled due to Covid-19 public safety concerns.

After careful consultation with our board members regarding the health and safety of everyone in our community – our families, our donors, and our sponsors – we have made the difficult decision to cancel JJMF’s signature fundraising event, ‘Legacy Luncheon’, scheduled for September 22 in St. Louis.

Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation. We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this in-person event for our community and supporters. But we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today.

The children we serve courageously face multiple, life-limiting conditions on a daily basis. They also are medically fragile and are at high risk of medical complications due to viruses and illnesses. That’s why your support of the JJMF is needed now more than ever.

We are excited to announce an online holiday fundraiser, “Comfort + Joy” featuring a virtual auction, high-end raffle, appeal and inspirational moments of joy in the unknown starting Monday, November 23, 2020. Updates will be shared on junejessee.org/comfort-joy. Donations and sponsorship will play an important role in helping us address the increased needs of the families we serve during this unprecedented time.
