Part of JATC’s mission is to develop and host events that generate income needed to support our service projects. The funds raised are 100% reinvested in our community.
In addition to our Annual Trivia Challenge, JATC writes grants and initiates a variety of other projects to bring in funds for our Service projects to assist us with serving the children and Youth of our County. Members, friends and supporters of JATC can all participate in these projects.
Donations to JATC are tax-deductible as we are a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization.

HOW YOU CAN HELP JATC RAISE FUNDS!
Our major fund-raiser is a fun Trivia Challenge with dinner, a raffle and a Silent Auction. The trivia competition features teams of eight members competing in eight interesting categories of ten questions each. Prizes for first, second and third place are awarded and the winners’ team name is engraved on the Trivia Winners Plaque.
