My name is Caroline and I am the Development & Marketing Associate at Joyful Heart. I have been so thrilled, touched and excited by all the JHF supporters interested in doing something to raise awareness and/or funds for the Foundation.

As someone who has been doing events since high school, I am very aware of the power and energy that can be harnessed from peers engaging peers. In response to inquiries we have received about how people can host their own events and how they can support JHF in new and interesting ways, we have decided to re-launch the Get Involved section of the JHF website. It will have many tools and ideas for anyone to be able to plan an event in their town.

Additionally, we will be posting here on this blog to inform you of easy ways to support, share stories of people giving back and explore our awareness, advocacy and fundraising efforts. I look forward to sharing all this with you! Check back regularly for exciting new Get Involved posts in the days and weeks ahead. And in the meantime, I’d like to recommend you check out the Huffington Post’s IMPACT section. It’s full of amazing stories of people getting involved in their communities and making a difference.

We are so grateful for our joyful community, thank you for being a part of it.
