JessFest Jess passed away from Stage IV, Metastatic Breast Cancer in February 2022. We anticipate anywhere between 200-400 in attendance during the five hour event.

The Jess Stach Beard Love & Light Foundation (an affiliate of the Annapolis Community Foundation), in partnership with Respite Retreats, was established to honor her life & legacy. The Jess Stach Beard Love & Light Foundation (an affiliate of the Annapolis Community Foundation), in partnership with Respite Retreats, was established to honor the life and legacy of Jess Stach Beard who passed from Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer in February 2022 at the age of 30. Jess was one of a kind- relentless, courageous and a light for those fighting alongside her. She advocated for and gave a voice to those who felt alone and fearful during their cancer journey. She provided resources, hope and courage to children facing cancer and showed up every single day for herself and others, proving that in the face of tremendous adversity faith and hope can prevail. Jess’ perseverance and grit helped her to thrive in spite of her disease and her foundation will help to ensure many more diagnosed with MBC are able to do so as well. The foundation’s mission is to raise money and awareness for metastatic breast cancer research and support for metastatic breast cancer survivors. We are excited to share that we will be continuing our fundraising efforts with JESS FEST 2026 on Saturday, October 10th from 3-8 pm on Fairview Farm in Davidsonville, MD to raise money for Metastatic Breast Cancer Thrivers, fulfilling the JSB Love & Light Foundation’s mission. The event will include local food and drink trucks, kids activities, music, an auction and much more. Throughout the day we will also have various speakers that will share their stories and help shine a light on Metastatic Breast Cancer and those affected by it both directly and indirectly. Together we can make a difference in the lives of those diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer and help advance research for a cure. If you would like additional information, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for your support! Love & Light,
