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 to Gillette!
Jessie’s Club Ambassadors help create connections to Gillette by sharing their personal care journeys and stories of inspiration and hope. Ambassadors serve for a one-year term and choose from a variety of exclusive opportunities to spread the word about their Gillette experiences, including:
- Speaking at live events.
- Engaging in media interviews.
- Attending events: Gillette-sponsored and those hosted by corporate sponsors.
- Appearing in Gillette print publications.
- Participating in fundraising efforts.
Once selected, all Jessie's Club ambassadors will:
- Receive an invitation to an Ambassador Kickoff Event, where you will connect with other Gillette families and Ambassadors, and get tips and tools for making the most of your experience.
- Choose Ambassador opportunities that work best for your family.
- Have multiple individual and family photos and videos taken for use in Gillette marketing materials (you’ll get copies too!).
- Be given your very own personalized Jessie’s Club t-shirt.
