Events & News

Inspired by the bravery of June Jessee, a young girl who fearlessly faced chronic, life-limiting conditions with no specific diagnosis, we celebrate this special month by cultivating care and community for families with children affected by complex neurological conditions. We have an exciting month planned with care package distribution and special events. Register now for activities throughout the month.

Care Packages

Care packages will be delivered to parents and caregivers of children with complex neurological conditions at St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, as well as to homes across the United States.

Parent/Caregiver Connection Event

Wednesday, June 12th from 5:00 -7:00 p.m.
Wild Crush Wine Bar (Town & Country)

Connect with the JJMF and other parents and caregivers of medically complex children while enjoying dinner and drinks! The event is free, but registration is required.

In-Person Music Therapy and Family Picnic

Royal Oaks Park (Warson Woods, MO) on Saturday, June 29 at from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Gather together outside for a special in-person music therapy session led by Maria Carron of Midwest Music Therapy. Children with complex neurological conditions and their siblings will enjoy this fun activity together. The event is free, but registration is required.

Following Music Therapy, there will be a family picnic connection event for parents, caregivers and children. Lunch will be provided by the JJMF.
