From the Organizer
Established in 2017, the Smile Like Jesse event honors Jesse’s memory by empowering the next generation and supporting families in need. Our mission is built on four pillars of community service:
STEM Education: We provide financial support and resources to students with a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, helping them overcome barriers to achieve their academic dreams.
Holiday Joy: In partnership with Wowie’s Gym, Jesse’s Angels hosts an annual toy drive to ensure that less fortunate children in our community experience a magical Christmas.
Winter Essentials: We believe every child deserves to be warm and prepared. Jesse’s Angels provides essential clothing and materials to children during the harsh winter months.
Community Beautification: To keep our mountain vibrant and clean, we lead local trash pick-up initiatives, keeping McGaffey beautiful for the next generations.
