The JPEG Studio recently teamed up with Janny’s Java, and with a lot of community support, donated $500 to the local charity, Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness.
One hundred percent of the session fees from The JPEG Studio’s annual Christmas photo event went directly to Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness. Customers who gave to the fundraiser got a free coffee drink from Janny’s Java and a free Christmas ornament from The JPEG Studio as a thank you for their donation.
Jill Steward of JPEG commented that this local charity really spoke to her since the families of two of her high school friends are dealing with cancer treatments right now. “There are so many people affected by cancer; helping with travel costs is just a small thing that can help lighten the burden,” she said.
Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness is made up of volunteers who raise money to help Daviess County residents by providing gas cards to those who must travel to receive cancer treatments.
Donations are accepted throughout the year at BTC Bank in Gallatin.
The gas cards are available at Farmers Bank, BTC Bank and Home Exchange Bank of Jamesport.
“We were excited to be part of something bigger, giving back and supporting the local community,” said Janelle Leeper of Janny’s Java.
