JETT Grant Fuels Launch of Boys and Girls Club in Dubois County

Jasper Endows Today and Tomorrow (JETT) awarded a $20,000 grant on September 15th to the newly established Boys and Girls Club of Dubois County. It is the largest grant JETT has awarded in its 13- year history. 

Located within Trinity United Church of Christ in Jasper, Indiana, the Boys and Girls Club of Dubois County will open its doors this fall. This grant will help provide safe after-school care, mentorship, educational opportunities, and positive youth development programs for children throughout the community. The local chapter is an affiliate of the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence County. 

“As a representative of the advisory council working to launch the Boys & Girls Club of Dubois County, we are incredibly grateful for JETT’s generous support,” said JASPER ® Director of Driveline Manufacturing Sara Schmidt. “This gift represents much more than funding - it is a powerful investment in the children and families of our community. Because of JETT’s belief in this mission, we are one step closer to opening doors to a safe, welcoming place where young people can learn, grow, build confidence, and see the bright future ahead of them.” 

“The establishment of the Boys & Girls Club in Dubois County is more than a new program, it is an investment in the future of our children and our community,” said JETT member Kelli Lampert. “By providing a place where young people can feel supported, inspired, and empowered, we are helping create opportunities that will positively influence lives for years to come. JETT is honored to be part of this transformational initiative.”
