'JESS FEST' Origin Story

In 2019 Jess Stach Beard's friends and family threw together an amazing event- JESS FEST- to support her cancer fight. The community rallied. So did she. Jess gave the world 3 more years of her beautiful love and light and she would say that was due largely to the support she had from her oncologists, nurses and medical staff to her friends, fam, breasties and other badasses behind her.

Jess Fest is a fun event packed with “All the Things” Jess Stach Beard loved in this world while raising money for those she fought with and for. The event is to celebrate her with ALL the people that loved, fought alongside, followed, admired and/or were inspired by Jess throughout her life.

Thank you to all those that created, attended and supported the 2019 event. We look forward to many more years of events to come because of the foundation that was laid.

Let's kick cancer's ass-together.
