✨ Exciting things are happening behind the scenes at JJ's Legacy!

We're working on a new website designed to better share our impact, highlight the lives touched through organ, eye, and tissue donation, and make it easier for our community to connect with our programs and mission.

From the Got the Dot? Leadership Program to our Gift of Life program, donor family support, community outreach, and more, we're creating a space that tells the story of the incredible people who make this work possible.

Stay tuned! We can't wait to share it with you.

💙 Because every legacy deserves to be remembered, and every life saved deserves to be celebrated.

Tonight marks the beginning of graduation celebrations for our incredible Got the Dot? High School Leadership Program seniors, and we could not be more proud. 🎓💙

Congratulations to Sarah from East Bakersfield High School, Jared from Stockdale High School, and Kizito from Ridgeview High School as they graduate tonight!

Over the past year, each of you brought compassion, leadership, and heart to this program while helping educate others about the importance of organ, eye & tissue donation.

This Memorial Day Weekend, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We are reminded that one life can leave a lasting impact on so many others. Today, we reflect with gratitude on the heroes who gave selflessly so others could live freely.

May we never forget their courage, service, and sacrifice. ❤️🤍💙

Our Treasure Every Moment Gala was truly a beautiful and inspiring evening, filled with purpose, connection, and the powerful reminder of the Gift of Life. 💙

Two of the most unforgettable moments of the night were honoring Ericka and Emma.

Emma, an incredible 11-year-old, living because of Carter’s heart. She was awarded a $5,000 scholarship to support her future college dreams—a future made possible through the selfless gift of organ donation.

Ericka, whose journey has touched so many, was also awarded a $5,000 scholarship as she returns to school to pursue her dream of becoming a registered nurse—continuing the cycle of care and compassion.

We were also honored to hear from Vernon B. Harper Jr., President of California State University, Bakersfield, who shared his personal story as a living donor, saving his sister’s life through kidney donation. His story was a powerful reminder that the Gift of Life isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we can all be part of.

These are the moments that define our mission—turning loss into hope, and honoring lives by helping others live on.

Thank you to our incredible community for showing up, giving generously, and believing in the mission of JJ’s Legacy. Because of you, lives are being changed right here in Kern County. 💗

🎥 Watch the highlight reel and relive the magic of the evening.
