CAJC Foundation Gives $1500 to Local Jaycees

At the California Jaycees convention in Bakersfield last August, the California Jaycee Foundation gave out a nice $1500 to local Jaycee chapters who submitted Grant Requests for their local community projects.

The following chapters received grant money from the foundation:

$1000 went to the Modesto Jaycees to help with their long-time 4th of July Parade project

$500 went to the Sacramento Jaycees for a 5k Race they are working on.

Welcome California Jaycees to the New California Jaycee Foundation Website!

Welcome to the new California Jaycee Foundation website. All the resources we can provide for you will be posted on this site. Be sure to re-visit this site often.

This site is dynamic – a work-in-progress, if you will. But it is being designed to keep you advised of important and current information that can benefit you and your chapter.

The Foundation is here to help you succeed. So, please, use the resources we provide you as much as possible. Otherwise, quite frankly, we have no reason to exist. We’re here for you!

Good luck this year in Jaycees. We look forward to helping you and your chapter succeed in any way we can.

– The Trustees of the California Jaycee Foundation
