Joggers for Juniors is a platform that gives children with special needs the opportunity to perform acts of kindness through creative avenues. The program has a powerful message of EMPOWERING, INCLUDING and INSPIRING because of the unique concept of turning the art into a give back item.
Hello, my name is Emma. I have always been passionate about giving back to children with special needs. I have devoted the past 5 years to an extraordinary organization called The New York Friendship Circle. I am honored to be on their leadership board. Joggers for Juniors has partnered with Bake Back America to create an inclusive environment for young people with special needs to give back.
