Let's honor children fighting cancer together.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, so Anthem and Oakland Roots have partnered with the Jessie Rees Foundation to honor families and their children, who are courageously fighting cancer. Let's come together and cheer them on at halftime.
Please also stop by our booth to participate in the I Never Ever Give Up (I NEGU) Challenge. This initiative aims to spread happiness by giving JoyJars, filled with new toys and activities, to children with cancer.
Here's how to participate:
Ask an Anthem representative to take a photo of you with the "I NEGU, Do You?" sign.
Post the photo to your social media channels with the hashtag #iNEGU.
Every new photo posted with the #iNEGU hashtag during September will put a JoyJar into the hands of a kid fighting cancer and raise much-needed awareness. You may even win a prize after posting your photo.
