October is one day away! That means breast cancer awareness month!

Please gather all the scarves you can. Remember, we are currently only accepting new scarves.
With breast cancer awareness month just one day away, I really would like to gather more scarves than normal. Please, the next time you are at Wal-Mart or Target or Stein mart or Bealls, just make a quick trip to the scarf section and pick up one or two. Every scarf is given to a cancer patient in need of one.

Thanks so much!!!

What is "The Jessica Project"?

Hello and welcome to my blog. The Jessica Project is a program created to accept donations of scarves for cancer patients.
My sister Jessica has been my inspiration in creating this donation service. She was diagnosed with cancer at age 16 and I saw first hand the trauma of her hair loss. She was given hats and wraps, but she looked most beautiful in her head scarves. She had one to go with every outfit! The scarves really seemed to give her confidence through a trying time in her life.
We all know someone who is affected by cancer. Cancer is terrible and unfortunate. It has no boundaries; no preferred method of who it affects.
My goal is to give back to those who are fighting the tough cancer battle. We can give them a scarf and a smile and maybe in doing so, offer a little bit of hope.
Please join me in this donation fund. Please send your friends and family to this site. Set up a donation program in your area. Through our paypal account, donations can also be made. Some of those donations will help in the shipping of the scarves. The remaining amount will purchase new scarves.
If you have an interest in helping, please email me at: jessicaproject@ymail.com
I will be happy to send you brochures and teach you how to set up a scarf drive locally.

Scarves can also be mailed directly to:
1721 3rd St.
Neptune Beach, FL 32266

Together, we can make the world a little brighter through the gift of scarves!

Thank you so much,

Brittney Davis

A quick update!

I just wanted to send out a quick update. The Jessica Project is still up and running. However, I am in need of volunteers who are willing to start scarf drives in their area. We are running a little bit low on new scarves. I just made a large drop off at a local hospice and we need to get stocked again!
So please, please, please, open your hearts (and wallets if you are able to) and donate to this cause. There are so many who can be touched by this project. Even if you can only donate one new scarf, or one dollar, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
For those who are interested in starting a scarf drive, it is very simple. School has just started up again and I know many schools have an interest in community service projects. This is the perfect project for you (if you are in college) or your child (if you are a parent) to take on.
Simply get approval from the school (or church business of your choice), drop off a box with a sign over it, fill out your contact information, and when the box is full, send it our way! (I can email you flyers and signs to print) I will be glad to pick up any boxes in the Jacksonville area. If you are not located in this area and do not have the funds for shipping, I will pay for the shipping services. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to give me a call or shoot me over an email.
Thanks again to everyone who has assisted in making this project so amazing!

Thanks!!!

Donation Parameters

If you are mailing scarves, please be sure to read the following:


Donation Parameters:
1.Scarves will need to be standard size. We need to be sure that the scarves can comfortably fit over the head while covering it completely.
2. We are currently accepting new scarves. Many cancer patients have compromised immune systems and we cannot contribute to them becoming any more ill than they already are. I am greatful for the used scarves that we recieved. They have gone to good use. However, the use of new scarves has been in demand.

YOU ARE DOING A GREAT DEED IN DONATING TO THIS PROJECT! THANK YOU!!!

Very exciting!

This project is taking off with a bang! I am so excited. I have had very generous donations made that have just swelled my heart. The scarves are starting to come in and all of this is becoming a wonderful reality.
I am meeting with some of the folks with First Coast News in hopes that we can make more people aware of this project. The more people involved, the better The Jessica Project will turn out.
I am lucky enough to have some amazing friends, both locally and across the nation who are working to set up drives and collect donations. For that, I am very thankful. I have spoken with the American Cancer Society to set up distribution of the scarves. I will also be meeting with Wolfson's Children's Hospital (where Jessica stayed when she was sick) in hopes of becoming a staple in their new patient arrivals. My dream is that this scarf drive will grow so drastically that we will not only furnish the local cancer wards with scarves, but also those outside of our area.
If you are reading this blog, I truly thank you. Please, no matter how small the donation or how few scarves you have, anything helps!

Thanks so much!
