In a previous post, we re-printed a letter from Raj Nadkarni, Chairman of the US Jaycees Foundation. In it he asked for donations for those hit by the severe weather and tornadoes in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South and North Carolina, and Florida. Now, in response to the utter devastation in Joplin, Missouri, the US Jaycees are again asking for help. 100% of all donations will be sent to aid Joplin. No administrative costs will be withheld. As a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations to the US Jaycees Foundation are 100% tax-deductible.

To make a donation, mail your check to:

UPDATE: 06/11/11

The Arkansas Junior Chamber members in attendance at the USJC Annual Meeting in Chicago raised $600 towards USJC Foundation Disaster Relief, way to go!

Dear Fellow Jaycees,

As you are aware, this week the southeastern United States sustained a devastating series of severe storms. The tornadoes that impacted Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South and North Carolina, and Florida have hit home hard. This is the time when Jaycees act and work together to ensure that our friends across the many Jaycee states are safe and know that their fellow Jaycees we are willing to get out and help.

The US Jaycees Foundation is setting up a disaster relief account pursuant to the devastation that has battered the Southeastern US. You are requested to send a tax free donation to:

The US Jaycees Foundation
Attention: Disaster Relief Program – Tornadoes
7447 S. Lewis Avenue
Tulsa OK, 74136

As a reminder, 100% of the funds received go directly to the grants which are provided to the Jaycee states or chapters in order to assist their communities in need. No administrative fees are assessed to the Disaster Relief Funds, so you can rest assured that very dollar donated will go to grants and will assist in the disaster relief. We are starting to work with the chapters in Alabama and shortly will begin working with those from the other states too. If you would like to get your hands dirty let us know and we’ll point you in the direction of chapters who could use your assistance. Jaycees it is time we do what we do best – help those who need a hand to get back on their feet or maybe just a hand to dig out of a difficult situation. You have seen the pictures on the news – the time to act is NOW!!!

In the name of Jaycees everywhere – God Bless you all.

WE BELIEVE – That Service to Humanity is the BEST WORK of LIFE!

Raj Nadkarni
