More Than a Day on the Course: Supporting Our Local Communities

 

There are quite a few golfers here at J&K Communications, so we’re always happy to have a reason to get out on the course. It’s even better when the day is helping support a great cause.

Over the last few weeks, J&K has had the opportunity to support several golf outings around Northeast Indiana. Each event benefits a different organization, but they all bring local businesses and community members together for a good reason.

From supporting local students to the work of the Churubusco Rotary Club and helping first responders get the equipment they need, it’s been a busy stretch on the golf course — and we still have one more outing to go.

Supporting LifeWise Academy Southwest Allen County

On August 27, J&K Communications participated in the 2nd Annual LifeWise Academy Southwest Allen County Golf Outing.

The event brought golfers and sponsors together to support LifeWise Academy Southwest Allen County and its work providing Bible-based character education to students throughout Southwest Allen County Schools.

J&K was glad to be one of the sponsors helping make the outing possible. It was a great opportunity to get out on the course, spend some time with others from the area and support a program working with local students.

A lot goes into putting together an event like this, from the organizers and volunteers to the businesses and golfers who come out to support it. LifeWise had another great turnout for its second annual outing, and we were happy to be a part of the day.

Golf is always fun. Golf that helps support a good cause is even better.

A Great Day Supporting the Churubusco Rotary Club

On Friday, September 11, J&K Communications was a hole sponsor for the Churubusco Rotary Club Golf Outing.

J&K has been part of the Churubusco area since the company was founded in 1976, so we’re always glad to support local organizations and events in the community.

The Churubusco Rotary Club brings together local businesses and community members while raising money that goes back into the work Rotary does throughout the area. J&K was happy to sponsor a hole for this year’s outing and help support another successful event.

Events like these are also a good chance to catch up with familiar faces and spend some time with people from around the community outside of the normal workday.

And it was a great day for golf, which is never a bad bonus.

Two Towns, One Mission

There’s still one more outing on the calendar.

This Friday, September 18, J&K Communications will be a sponsor of the Two Towns, One Mission Golf Outing at Eagle Glen Golf Club in Columbia City.

The event brings South Whitley and Churubusco together to raise money for first responders in both communities. Proceeds from the outing will help purchase essential equipment for the departments serving the two towns.

Supporting first responders also fits naturally with what we do at J&K. We’ve worked with public safety agencies for decades, from local fire and police departments to larger agencies across Indiana and the surrounding states.

We see the equipment these departments rely on every day and understand the importance of having the right tools available to do the job. An outing that brings two neighboring communities together while raising money for their first responders is something we’re glad to support.

We’re looking forward to Friday and another good day on the course for an even better reason.

Golfing for Something Bigger

We’ll never complain about getting the chance to leave the office and spend some time on a golf course.

There’s always some friendly competition, plenty of conversations and usually a few shots we’d rather not talk about afterward. But what makes these outings worthwhile is what happens beyond the golf itself.

Over the past few weeks, that has meant helping support LifeWise Academy Southwest Allen County, the Churubusco Rotary Club and, this Friday, first responders in South Whitley and Churubusco.

This year also marks 50 years in business for J&K Communications. We started in Northeast Indiana in 1976, and while J&K has grown quite a bit since then, this area is still home. Being able to support local events and organizations is one of the ways we can continue to be involved in the communities that have supported us along the way.

Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, sponsors and golfers who put the time into making these outings happen. We’re glad we’ve had the opportunity to support each of them this year.

More Than a Day on the Course

We always have fun getting out on the course, but it’s even better when it’s for a great cause.
