Are you a JM Grandparent? Read more and celebrate our Grandparent GEMs here.
GEMs is Cure JM’s monthly giving community. The name reflects a simple idea: Giving Every Month to provide steady, year-round support for children and families living with Juvenile Myositis.
Monthly giving allows Cure JM to plan ahead, respond consistently to family needs, and sustain progress in research, care, and support throughout the year.
Why Monthly Giving Matters
Families living with Juvenile Myositis do not experience JM in one-time moments. Monthly giving helps ensure Cure JM’s work is steady, reliable, and responsive.
Monthly support helps Cure JM:
- Be present for families throughout the year, not just during campaigns
- Sustain research and clinical care efforts that improve diagnosis and treatment
- Provide ongoing education, connection, and support for children and families
What It Means to Be a GEM
GEMs are individuals who choose to support Cure JM through a recurring monthly gift.
There are no tiers required to participate, and any monthly amount makes a meaningful difference over time. Being a GEM is about consistency and commitment, not comparison.
All GEMs are part of Cure JM’s monthly giving program.
