Jackson Calder (pictured above) from Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania will be celebrating his Bar Mitzvah in May and along with his cousin Jacob, from Bethesda, Maryland, they have created a Mitzvah Project and movement called, #IGOTVAX to help generate COVID-19 vaccination awareness while raising money for World Central Kitchen.
Jackson tells Mitzvah Market, “My Mitzvah Project involves selling wristbands with the hashtag #igotvax so more and more people will be motivated to get the vaccine so we can start living a normal life again. I hope the facilities administering the vaccine will eventually give out the wristbands to people as a memento after getting their vaccination.”
All of the proceeds from the sale of the wristbands on www.igotvax.com will go to the World Central Kitchen, who use the power of food to heal communities and strengthen economies through times of crisis and beyond.
You can follow igotvax on social media: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok.
Mitzvah Project Idea
Jackson also hopes that other kids will jump on board and for their own Mitzvah Projects and become “igotvax Ambassadors.” To learn more about how other kids across the country can help, reach out to Jackson’s Dad Stephen at [email protected].
