Since everyone is sharing their 2016 photos, we had to join in! 😃

2016 was a BIG year for ESP! Java Joy and our Joyristas first started spreading joy, a new building opened its doors to the community, and Big Hearts Be Loved first made its debut!

Big Hearts, Be Loved. Joyfully Ever After!❤️

It’s almost 2026… cue the confetti! 🎉

In 2026, we’ll be celebrating some truly incredible milestones: 40 years of ESP, the launch of The Joy Exchange (written by our fearless leader!), and 19 years of Big Hearts. What a year we have ahead!

The new year brings even more reasons to celebrate at ESP—more joy, more community, and more moments that matter.💛

So… what part will YOU play in ESP’s joy-filled story in 2026? ✨

We asked Lily D. Moore why giving the gift of ESP this year truly matters—and this is what she had to say:

“I’m an actress, model, and proud spokesperson for Extra Special People (ESP). I’m 22 years old and have been part of ESP for more than a decade—first as a participant and now as an advocate. ESP gave me a place where I feel welcome, confident, and deeply connected. It truly helped shape who I am today.

I still love attending ESP programs designed for active adults, and I’m inspired by the wide range of opportunities ESP offers—from infants to senior citizens. No one is turned away because of age, ability, or ability to pay. Thanks to generous donors, families never pay more than 25% of the true cost of camp.

This year, ESP is serving 1,339 community members with the help of 1,568 incredible volunteers. As Laura and I celebrate ESP’s 40th year, I hope you’ll consider making a gift to support this life-changing organization so the ESP magic can continue for generations to come.”

This summer, five-year-old Lenora lived her best mermaid life at ESP camp in Savannah 🧜‍♀️✨

From swimming pool magic to glitter-covered volunteers, Lenora moved through each activity with joy—and her parents, Claire and Lee, cherished every photo they were sent during camp.

Beyond camp, they’ve found something just as special: a community where caregivers feel seen, supported, and understood.

The magic of ESP is possible because of you and your support. Join us this Big Hearts season for our Talent Shows on February 7 and the Big Hearts Gala on February 14.
