What categorizes success?  

Perhaps someone who has accomplished a great many things in their life, while also growing and always learning.

The definition that comes to mind to us is simple: Jeremy.

He has been with the company since 2005 and has been the overseer of Fundraising since.

When Jeremy isn't hard at work he is out running, in the mountains hiking and exploring, or at home with his wife and five boys.

He is most proud of what we do here at Growing Smiles, and how far we have come.

To be able to help so many groups, and communities raise money for various charities, events, trips, and certain people; is such an amazing honor.

Jeremy often references the "Flying V" geese formation, which is about being a team and helping each other, because we can't take the full load alone. Truly showing how much of a born leader he is.

We all are grateful to know this overly funny, and radiant light, we call Jeremy.

My name is Jessica, but most people call me Jess. I’ve been working with the fundraising team since 2011. I am passionate about the work that I do here, and love seeing the program grow because our success only comes from your success. 

If I had to sum myself up in one sentence I would say:
I'm an introverted adrenaline-junkie and fitness-enthusiast who lives off espresso and all things cheese.

Most of my free-time is spent with my family – opting to spend my weekends with my sisters and our feet in the sand. I love the beauty of living in the Fraser Valley of BC because just outside our doorstep are countless lakes, waterfalls and mountain peaks to explore. 

While juggling work, pursuing a Bachelor degree and keeping my social circle small; I am a single mother first. This girl is my cheerleader, my sounding board, and my sunny days. Together we watch Gilmore Girls reruns, practice meditations, and go on impromptu road trips. 

Perhaps what I love most is that we are always planning our next adventure. When I cross one off the list, we usually add several more along the way.
