Would you like to make a positive impact on your community?
Supporting Joey's Gifts is an excellent way to do just that. As a non-profit organization, Joey's Gifts is dedicated to honoring the legacy of Joey, a young athlete who passed away tragically at the tender age of nine. Joey's passion for sports not only brought him joy but also taught him essential life skills, such as leadership, confidence, and self-esteem. At Joey's Gifts, we strive to empower children by offering them the same opportunities for growth and development through sports that Joey enjoyed.
How We Empower Our Children, and Sustain Our Future.
To ensure our success in creating a more vibrant world of possibilities for children and animals in our community, we have outlined our resource allocation strategy as follows:
-
10 - 20 percent of resources will be allocated to fundraising and event-related costs that sustain and grow our initiatives.
-
10 - 20 percent will support essential operational functions, ensuring accountability, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
-
65 to 80 percent of our resources will be dedicated to what truly matters—supporting our mission and making a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve through our programs for children and animals.
-
To maintain financial stability, we will build and sustain a reserve fund equivalent to 3–6 months of operating expenses, allowing us to respond to unforeseen challenges while continuing to serve our community.
Our priority is to maximize measurable impact by ensuring each dollar directly strengthens our safety initiatives and supports our sports scholarship and animal rescue programs.
With expanded support from grant funding and an increase in recurring donors, we aim to increase the number of children we financially support by 20–40% and the number of animals we assist by 10–15%. However, achieving these targets depends on the funds we receive and the overall success of our initiatives.
Generosity transforms lives and creates a lasting change!

To date, your donations have made a significant impact. Your generosity has changed lives, enabling these children to wear uniforms, practice diligently, and become the best versions of themselves. Donations helped support 30 young cheerleaders who traveled to Florida for Nationals in 2023, where they won first place and advanced to the Global competition in Atlantic City, NJ, ultimately emerging as champions.
In another inspiring story, a dedicated senior cheerleader faced the heart-wrenching decision to leave her team due to her mother's medical difficulties. When her coach reached out for support, the board united in their commitment to fund her final year of cheerleading.
Additionally, our safety program is designed to raise awareness about the importance of safety for children of
all ages and to empower them to make wise decisions that keep themselves and others safe. Children are naturally curious and adventurous, and this can make them vulnerable to many safety risks. Our comprehensive safety program will instill lifelong safety habits in children and ensure their well-being. We believe that safety should always be a top priority, and we are committed to working together with our partners to make our communities safer.
Finally, our Animal Program supports animal rescue organizations. Your donations help animal rescues provide essential veterinary care, food, shelter, and other necessities that enable these animals to thrive, including finding each animal a loving home.
In conclusion, we are deeply grateful for your kindness and generosity. Your support allows us to fulfill our mission of improving the lives of children, their families, and animals in our communities. Thank you for making a difference and being an invaluable donor.
Sincerely,
Friends and Family of Joey Malcolm
