Moments Count

Impacting children one moment at a time.

At Live Like JoJo Foundation, we believe that even in life's most difficult moments, there is room for joy, hope, courage, and comfort. Inspired by JoJo's extraordinary spirit, our three pillars bring meaningful experiences and compassionate support to children and families facing life-threatening challenges.

Sunshine Boxes

Delivering a Little Sunshine During the Darkest Days

Our Sunshine Boxes bring unexpected moments of joy to children facing unimaginable medical challenges. Each hand-painted box is thoughtfully filled with gifts, activities, and surprises designed to brighten a child's hospital stay and remind families that they are seen, loved, and supported.

  • Bringing joy and comfort directly to hospitalized children.

  • Creating meaningful moments of connection during difficult medical journeys.

  • Delivering more than 4,000 Sunshine Boxes to children and families.

Superhero Experiences

Every Child Deserves to Feel Like a Superhero

Our Superhero Experiences celebrate the extraordinary courage of children facing life-threatening illnesses and medical challenges. Through unforgettable celebrations, magical encounters, and personalized experiences, we create opportunities for children and families to step away from the challenges of their medical journeys and into moments filled with pure joy, laughter, and wonder.

  • VIP Red Carpet Experiences: Celebrating our Superheroes with an unforgettable day where they are the stars.

  • Princess Parties: Bringing fairy-tale magic, favorite princesses, and enchanting memories to life.

  • Marvel Parties: Creating action-packed celebrations with beloved superheroes and characters.

  • Petting Zoo Experiences: Bringing the joy, comfort, and connection of animals directly to children and families.

Every experience is an opportunity to create treasured memories, strengthen family connections, and remind children just how extraordinary they are.

Jojo’s Blankets

Bringing Hope and Comfort Into the Darkest of Days

JoJo's Blankets is our commitment to transforming pediatric end-of-life care. Inspired by JoJo's final moments, this initiative brings compassionate bedside practices, specialized education, and meaningful tools to healthcare professionals caring for children and families during life's most sacred moments.

Through partnerships with hospitals, medical schools, and nursing schools, we are working to embed compassionate end-of-life practices into healthcare education and clinical care, ensuring that every child and family is surrounded by dignity, love, and extraordinary support.

  • Hospital Partnerships: Collaborating with pediatric hospitals and clinical teams to implement JoJo's Blankets and compassionate bedside practices.

  • Medical School Partnerships: Preparing future physicians through education, simulation, and meaningful conversations about pediatric end-of-life care.

  • Nursing School Partnerships: Equipping future nurses with the knowledge, confidence, and compassion to support children and families through their most difficult moments.

  • JoJo's Blankets: Providing specially designed blankets as a tangible expression of love, dignity, and comfort for children and families.

Our dream is to create a nationwide standard for compassionate pediatric end-of-life care.

Live like Jojo Walk

A Day of Hope, Courage, Community, and Celebration

Our annual Superhero Experience & Community Walk brings together families, friends, healthcare heroes, and community supporters for an extraordinary celebration of courage and hope.

At the heart of this special day are our Superheroes—children facing life-threatening medical challenges—who are celebrated with a VIP red-carpet experience worthy of their incredible strength. We also honor our Superhero Alumni and Forever a Superhero Families, remembering the children whose legacies continue to inspire us.

More than a walk, this event is a powerful reminder that no family should face their most difficult journey alone.

  • Celebrate: Roll out the red carpet for our Superheroes and their families.

  • Remember: Honor our Forever a Superhero children and the legacies they leave behind.

  • Connect: Bring together families, healthcare professionals, volunteers, and our community.

  • Make an Impact: Raise critical funds to support all three Live Like JoJo pillars and expand our mission.

Every step, every journey—providing families with hope, joy, and comfort.
