ABOUT US

The Marquette Area Jaycees help out the Marquette area community by providing assistance with local charity events and hold community awareness events.

The biggest charity event that the Marquette Area Jaycees sponsor is the Indoor Softball Tournament. This year's tournament will be held at the Marquette Superior Dome during February 26th-29th. All proceeds from the tournament, raffle, and booths go to help Area 36 Special Olympics.

Other Charitable event's that the chapter participates in is the annual Bowl For Kids Sake for Big Brother & Big Sisters.

The chapter also hosts our car safety clinics which are were held twice during 2003. 80% of the vehicles that were inspected had child safety seats improperly installed.

Another event that was held on a national level was the USOEC Olympic Speed Skating Event. The Jaycees rallied to help with the event by coordinating special needs and event information for the athletes as they arrived to the Marquette Area as-well-as provided them with assistance in directions to local hot spots while visiting the Area.

As our chapter continues to grow we will support more local events. If there is a special need that your organization is in need of don't hesitate to contact the Jaycees to see if we can be of assistance.
