Kids 4 Love Project Radio

Guests Barbara Saltzman & Wendy Fachon Founded in 2000, the non-profit The Jester & Pharley Phund developed from the overwhelming national response to David Saltzman’s illustrated children’s book The Jester Has Lost His Jingle. This year, The Jester celebrates its 22nd anniversary, with more than 330,000 books in circulation. The Jester was David’s senior project at Yale. Before his death from cancer at 22 in 1990, his family promised him that his book would be published as he envisioned it and that its universal message of hope, laughter and self-empowerment would be shared with children coping with cancer and other illness. The Jester & Pharley PHund has received many awards and honors for its programs benefiting ill children and literacy. Phund Accomplishments Include: ●189,000 Jester books and dolls donated ●51 Jester & Pharley Smile Carts in hospitals, shelters nationwide ●263-plus schools participating in Jester Read-A-Thons to help young patients ●45 million pages read by students to help ill children All Donations Welcomed thejester13@cox.net http://www.thejester.org/ Call 1-800-9 JESTER
