Jen Lilley Celebrates Christmas In July
Famed for her Hallmark and GAC network appearances, Jen Lilley also has developed a reputation as a philanthropist. And the actress channels her desire to give into her Christmas Is Not Cancelled initiative. But in contrast to December 25, Jen celebrates her special program for a full month, reported People.
And she set some ambitious goals. For instance, this year Lilley hopes to provide new backpacks loaded with school supplies to more than 2,000 children in foster care. But she wants everyone to enjoy the process. “Christmas Is Not Cancelled started as a way to bring people together and to have fun while doing a lot of good for those in need,” explained Jen. And the program rewards “the givers with the chance to win incredible prizes along the way,” she added.
As a result, Lilley calls her initiative a “kindness campaign.” And during a period of unrest in much of the world, Jen hopes she can “spread love.” Reflecting on her goals, the actress shared her ultimate dream of restoring “our faith in humanity when the world needs it most.”
