Projects

These are just a few of the many projects that we run:

Casino Nights

These are chapter fundraising projects in which Jaycees provide entertainment at events by running different gaming tables like Black Jack, Roulette, Chuck-a-Luck and Bing.

Speed Dating

The Jaycees host speed dating events in Bismarck. In the event participants (equally men and women) sit down at tables for a series of seven minute dates. This simple process allows the participants to meet different people of their own age in one evening. Using a secret ballot the participants can elect who they would like to meet for another date. If two participants indicate a desire to meet each other again the Jaycee's facilitate the exchange of phone numbers and email.

Pack the Civic Center - Facebook

A community food drive event where the Jaycees partner with the Bismarck-Mandan communities to fill the floor of the Bismarck Civic Center Exhibit Hall with non-perishable food items to benefit area food pantries.

Pitch, Hit and Run

A baseball skills competition for kids from 8 to 15. Held in Bismarck in May.

Punt, Pass and Kick

A football skills competition for kids from 8 to 15. Held in Bismarck in September.

American Cancer Society - Relay for Life

The Jaycees raise money througout the preceeding months and then spend the night walking around the track at the event to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer.

Lincoln Demolition Derby

The Jaycees work with the Lincoln Area Activities Club to put on a demolition derby in August. The funds raised are used to fund Santa's Christmas gifts for kids in Lincoln.

Bowling Tournament

The Jaycees hold bowling tournaments to help develop project management skills as well as raise money.

Magic of Christmas

The Jaycees hold an annual Christmas fund raiser in December featuring a large stage act. Tickets to the event are sold to members of the community.
