Did you know that every night in Jacksonville about 3,000 men, women and children are homeless? That is a staggering number. If you are reading this newsletter, you are probably not one of them. – our membership is generally pretty well off! I’ve seen the fancy running cloths and shoes you wear!
So, why not take some time to give back to our community? At JTC, we are committed to making Jacksonville a better place to live. And serving those who need a hand is a great way to do it. The Sulzbacher Center is an incredible resource for the homeless and not only offers meals 7 days a week, 365 days a year, they provide health care, children programs, job placement, and life skill programs. They are truly helping folks restore their lives.
We are seeking about 12 volunteers to cook and serve dinner at the Sulzbacher Center, Saturday, Nov. 14th.
Absolutely no experience needed! Just bring your positive energy and willing hands, as well as any gently used running shoes you would like to donate to Sulzbacher residents.
Cooking shift is from 3:00pm-5:30pm; serving shift is from 5:30pm-7:00pm (you can select one or both shifts).
Stanton Athletics is excited to present this inaugural 5K event to benefit the construction of a new track at the Stanton campus. Despite having state champion athletes on the Track & Field team for several years, Stanton does not have a facility suitable for practices and hosting meets.
The race will be held Saturday, November 14th at 3 pm on the beach (Jacksonville Beach).
We invite you to join us in supporting these efforts as a participant or official race sponsor. Stanton College Prep has students from the entire Northeast Florida area which assures your exposure will be broad and worth the investment!
