Jeep Jam for St Jude

07/25/2024

We are sadly cancelling the 4th Annual Jeep Jam for St Jude. We have had so much fun bringing this event to you and thank you for all the support that you have given the event over the past three years! Unfortunately, it's a lot of work for a very small committee, behind the scenes and on event day. Like many events, a few people do most of the work. I encourage you to find events you enjoy and volunteer an hour, donate a gift basket, or ask how you can help out. Please be sure to follow Jeeperz Jaunt for St Jude for another great local Jeep event that raises money for St Jude.

Finally, it has come to our attention that some people have raised doubts about where the money raised by Jeep events like ours goes to. I find it sad that they have decided that there is no other option to better their own event than to spread false information about other events that are also trying to raise money. Please know that all monies raised from our events, as well as the Jeeperz Jaunt events, all goes to St Jude, so please continue to support your local events in raising money for great causes.

Remember to Jeep with purpose!

Choose a sweet e-card featuring layouts inspired by patient art, and then select a pre-written message, or create your own!

I do wish that I had photos of everyone who helped, but you all know who you are...a HUGE HUGE thank you going out to ALL the volunteers involved on any level of this year's Jeep Jam for St Jude. It takes an army and, even though we have quite a bit less than an army, we all worked together and pulled it off. Thank you to each and every one of you for giving of your time and talents to help us raise money for St Jude.

The 3rd Annual Jeep Jam for St Jude was an amazing day! The weather was a little on the warm side, but at least it wasn't raining, and we were had a great turnout of Jeeps and Jeepers. We are very proud to announce that, thanks to all of you, we were able to raise $19,139 for St Jude! Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make this year's Jeep Jam for St Jude a success!

A huge thank you to Danny at OVR Built Offroad, Nic H. Hahn at Storm Offroad, Brett at Inabit Services, and all of their many vounteers for their hard work with the Agility Course and Car Crush.

A huge thanks goes out to Chris & Sara for sharing with everyone how St. Jude helped their family; Pork n’ Stuff and Rubi's Brickoven Pizzeria for keeping us fed; Kutkat RC for bringing out some fun RC vehicles and a course for us to try out; Greg & Brian for keeping the tunes flowing; Bartonville Parks and Recreation for allowing us to take over the entire Alpha Park; and to all of our many volunteers throughout the day...we appreciate everyone's help!

A special mention to our rockin' Jeep Jam Committee: Tammy VanOppen, Trisha and Blake Hoogerwerf, Brad and Autumn Paulsen, Bill and Kim Myers, and Mike and Trisha Robertson, as well as all of their families and friends who were involved, for the hard work put into the planning and ex*****on of this amazing event.
