🏈💗💙 JJOC Tailgate Showdown 2026!
Jack & Jill Day brought our Oakland County Chapter together for an afternoon filled with food, fellowship, friendly competition, and plenty of JJOC spirit! From creative tailgate displays to some seriously delicious chili, our families showed up ready to have FUN and kick off another program year together.
🏆 Congratulations to Grade Group 1, winners of our Tailgate Showdown Competition! Your creativity, teamwork, and Jack & Jill spirit came through in a BIG way!
🌶️ And congratulations to Father DeShawn Mallory, winner of our Dads’ Chili Cook-Off! The competition was hot, but one chili had to take home the bragging rights!
Amid the laughter and friendly competition, we also paused for a meaningful Carole Robertson Tribute, honoring the life and legacy of the young Jack and Jill teen whose memory continues to inspire generations. Her story reminds us of the importance of teaching our children their history and carrying forward the values of courage, equality, and community.
What a beautiful way to begin our year — celebrating family, honoring legacy, and making new memories together.
Together, we win! 🏈✨
