In 2024, Glass and the WPTV team partnered with the nonprofit Chasin A Dream Foundation to surprise Jaime with Taylor Swift concert tickets — honoring her strength through cancer and her ongoing impact on the community.

Over the summer, Jamie let WPTV have a look at her first book, a creative writing journal titled Let's Get Weird and Artsy.
