Jared Box Project a Success

Jared Boxes are filled with small toys, books, games and well wishes to lift the spirits of chronically ill children and symbolize the importance of play. The project is named after Jared, a 5-year-old boy who battled cancer with courage. He died Nov. 12, 2000 while listening to his favorite song, "You'll be in my Heart."
