What is Jessie's Club?
Jessie's Club provides an enjoyable and meaningful opportunity to connect with other Gillette patient families and promote the impact Gillette’s exceptional care has on our community.
Ambassadors help build philanthropic support for Gillette’s mission and increase visibility of our role as a Children's Miracle Network (CMN) Hospital. Gillette is one of 170 CMN-supported hospitals across the U.S., and the only one in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin.
Share your story and create connections
Jessie’s Club Ambassadors help create connections to Gillette by sharing their personal care journeys and stories of inspiration and hope. Ambassadors choose from a variety of exclusive opportunities to spread the word about their Gillette experiences, including:
- Speaking at events.
- Engaging in media interviews.
- Attending events: Gillette-sponsored and those hosted by corporate sponsors.
- Appearing in Gillette print and online publications.
- Participating in fundraising efforts.
Once selected, all Jessie's Club Ambassadors will:
- Have opportunities to connect with other Gillette families and Ambassadors, and get tips, tools, and swag to help make the most of your Jessie's Club experience.
- Choose Ambassador opportunities that work best for your family.
- Have individual and family photos and videos taken for use in Gillette marketing materials (you’ll get copies, too!).
Who is Jessie?
Jessie's Club is named for Jessie Haskins, a young woman with scoliosis who was a fierce advocate for children with disabilities and played a crucial role with Dr. Arthur Gillette in establishing the hospital in 1897.
