Community Involvement
We are proud to be active in our community.
We believe that part of owning a small business is committing to being a good steward of our community. Since we opened our doors, we set out to do well as a company so that we could also do well in our community through service and sponsorships and general support. As our company has evolved, we have been able to bless over 80 different organizations with gifts of our time, talent, and/or treasure.
Here are two of our favorite partners:
Goat Locker Racing
Goat Locker Racing is an organization that gives back to the veteran community. They are like minded individuals, understanding that to support veterans we have to build a community. The Goat Locker online racing platform is be based on camaraderie and the love of racing, with a goal of reducing military suicides through a community of connectedness. This isn’t a video game… this is the same technology and racing leagues that the professional NASCAR and INDYCAR drivers train in, and drivers are set up with professional simulated racing rigs. GLR sponsors veteran racers both in sim racing and real life through sponsors and partnerships. “Because when we end up in victory Lane, so do our brothers and sisters!” – Patrick Drabick, GLR co-founder. Amber is happy to serve on the board for this newly established non-profit.
Kiwanis of Plainfield
The mission of Kiwanis is to serve the children of the world, and the team at JAM is proud to be part of the growing Kiwanis chapter in Plainfield, IN. Through community service projects, scholarships, and sponsorships of children-focused organizations, the chapter gives thousands of dollars into the Hendricks County community. JAM is an ongoing sponsor of the chapter’s events, including the Scavenger Hunt and the annual Golf Fore the Kids Golf Outing. We also volunteer at many of the events and serve on committees for the chapter.
