- Jessie’s Day – Give the Gift of Scholarship – Sunday, September 25, 2016 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the Independence Seaport Museum 211 South Christopher Columbus Blvd. Phila, PA 19106
- This event is named in memory of my daughter, Jessica Beth Schwartz who was born with a congenital heart defect, had her first open heart surgery when she was 10 months old and a heart transplant at the age of 14. Jessica died when she was twenty-three years old, just short of reaching her goal of graduating from college. The $2,500 Scholarships are awarded to students like Jessica who have survived life saving organ transplant surgery. In the fourteen years since Jessica passed we have awarded 49 scholarships and given out more than $100,000!
