💙 Join Team 9 — Help Us Reach 100 Members by the End of Summer! 💙

What if just $9 a month could help change lives?

Today, 19 incredible Team 9 members are helping support the mission of Love Like JJ through monthly giving. Together, they're contributing $171 each month and $2,052 annually to help us continue spreading hope, kindness, and support to children and families facing pediatric cancer.

Now we're dreaming bigger.

☀️ Our goal is to grow Team 9 to 100 members by the end of summer!

If we reach 100 members, Team 9 will provide:

✨ $900 every month
✨ $10,800 every year

That's consistent, reliable funding that allows us to expand our impact, support more families, and continue honoring JJ's legacy in meaningful ways.

The best part? Joining Team 9 costs less than a fast-food meal or a couple of specialty coffees each month. Small gifts add up to make a BIG difference.

💙 We need 81 more people to join us.

Will you be one of them?

Together, we can build something powerful—one $9 gift at a time.

👉 Join Team 9 today and help us reach 100 members by summer's end! Link to join is in the comments!

Hello LOVE like JJ 5k family! 🏃‍♂️💨💙

We need your honest thoughts. We’ve absolutely loved hosting the LOVE like JJ 5K, but as we look toward the future, we’re trying to decide whether to keep this tradition running or pivot to something new.

Whether you ran, walked, or cheered from the sidelines in the past, your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. Your input that you have given over the last 5 years has been instrumental in how we run this event.

It only takes about 2 minutes to fill out our quick survey. Let us know what you loved, what we can improve, and if you want to see it happen again!

👉Find the survey in the comments for Facebook or in our bio for Instagram

Thank you for always supporting us and helping us shape the future of our events! 💙

The Power of Number 9
Nine is more than just a number to us. It was the age JJ was when he passed, and it was the number he wore proudly on his soccer jersey. It represents a life full of energy, love, and kindness.

Now, we are inviting you to carry that energy forward by joining The Number 9 Team.

By pledging just $9 a month, you become part of a sustainable circle of giving that supports children year-round. Separately, $9 might seem small. But together as a team, look at what we can accomplish:

"The more players we have on Team 9, the more lives we can change."

Your $9 monthly commitment fuels everything we do—from filling backpacks with school supplies and providing snacks over breaks, to delivering Thanksgiving dinners, holiday magic, and the healing comfort of facility dogs.

Will you join the team and help us spread LOVE like JJ? 💙
