Item Description
We invite you to bid on one-of-a-kind customized cleats worn by Nick Vannett #88 in support of the Jessie Rees Foundation, or NEGU Foundation as it is fondly referred to. These cleats were created for the My Cause My Cleats campaign, in collaboration with the National Football League and players. This campaign provides players with a chance to share positive, inspiring, unifying messages about a cause of their choice on their game-day cleats. For the 2019 Season, the NFL selected week 14 as the league’s designated My Cause My Cleats game.
When Nick Vannett was thinking about what cause he wanted to support, he went with his heart. He had been inspired by the story of Jessie Rees, a young California girl who was diagnosed with brain cancer and lost her fight less than a year later at the age of 12.
In the midst of her own battle, Jessie chose to focus on spreading smiles and encouragement to other kids fighting cancer, so she created JoyJars and came up with the motto, Never Ever Give Up (NEGU). She used that motto to inspire others, and it continues to be the mission of the foundation to this very day.
“It’s spreading love, giving hope, and encouraging kids to Never Ever Give Up,” shared Nick.
Vannett, who is from Southern California, has visited with kids in the hospitals in that area and taken JoyJars with him. “I will go to hospitals there and team up with the NEGU Staff and give the kids JoyJars and brighten their day with it. I got a lot out of it, seeing how joyful they are. Seeing the smile on their face is powerful.”
As Nick said, “Everybody has a cause they support. It shows we care about the community too. We aren’t just playing football. We are more than that.”
