“Jesup is a very tight community, we have a good amount of kids and we want to make sure that we have programs that keep kids active.”
“Recently we worked with Rada Manufacturing and they had a fundraising activity that our kids could go out and sell cutlery to help raise funds to keep these fields running and to keep these fields maintained.”
