On March 28, 2015, Apriem Advisors joined the Jessie Rees Foundation 4th Annual Gala.

Apriem Advisors, represented by our Chief Wealth ManagerHarmon Kong, CFP® was one of the sponsors of the event.  Around 400 people attended and they raised over $100,000 to support 500 children or 200 families.

The Jessie Rees Foundation Gala is an elegant, fun and inspiring evening filled with JOY.  This annual event celebrates courageous kids and the compassionate individuals and corporations that help spread Jessie’s message of JOY, and her motto to Never Ever Give Up (NEGU).

The mission of the Jessie Rees Foundation is to ensure every child fighting cancer has the support and resources to Never Ever Give Up. Their focus is 100% care while the other great foundations discover a cure.  They love to say, “We will care until there is a cure.”  Today, JoyJars and NEGU are recognized symbols of hope, joy and love in over 27 countries.
