Juneau Jumpers thanks AT&T Pioneers Program

Juneau Jumpers would like to express our gratitude to the AT&T Pioneers Program for their generous grant of $5,000 to our organization.

The Juneau Jumpers is a non-profit organization founded in 1985 to promote a healthy lifestyle, teamwork and personal development. The program provides a supportive, safe, healthy and fun environment for youth in our community.

This award will greatly enhance our program. It will assist us in purchasing new team uniforms and equipment as will as help fund ongoing team sportsmanship and skills development. Without the generous support of organizations such as AT&T, it would not be possible for our program to provide Juneau youth with this opportunity to become healthy, confident and goal-oriented youth who learn to give back to their community.

Thank you AT&T Pioneers Program!

Juneau Jumper board members Lisa Worden, Heidi Richards-Mazon, Trish Dihle, Kelda Denton, John Delgado and Becca Antonoplos
