Forest of Fear

West Michigan's Preimer Haunted Attraction!
The Forest of Fear is the largest Fundraiser for the Kentwood Jaycees! The Forst of Fear is an interaactive haunted attraction located deep in the woods in Caledonia, Michigan. Last year almost 9,000 people attended this haunted event! It is the largest outdoor haunted event in the Grand Rapids area.

In order to support the 2007 Fireworks in the City of Kentwood the Kentwood Jaycees are making a special donation this year. We will donate $1 from every Full Price Adult Ticket Sold at the 2006 Forest of Fear to the City of Kentwood 4th of July Celebraion.

This years Edd Hunt was Fantastic! Great job everyone! We had about 250 people attend and it was a gorgeous day at Jaycee Park. The Easter Bunny came out for a visit and the kids went crazy! They each received a free photo with the Easter Bunny! Thanks for your support of this event! Come out to the 2008 Egg Hunt on April 10, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. Sharp. Free Pictures with the bunny and lots of candy.

   


Holiday Baskets

Each year the Kentwood Jaycees get together and help bring a little holiday spirit to some special Kentwood Residents! We provide Christmas groceries, childrens gifts and flowers to over 20 families and individuals that can not afford it on their own. A group of volunteers get together the weekend before Christmas and go grocery shopping for the food items and then hand deliver them to people. This gives the Jaycees some time to talk and socialize with area residents. This program is one of the most rewarding things a person can do or get involved in. This project take place each December. To get involved, come out to a General Membership Meeting and get the details!
   


Business Networking

The Kentwood Jaycees are active members of the Kentwood Wyoming Chamber of Commerce. We regularly participate in the Chamber Networking Luncheons and After Hours events. This is a great way for us to expose the Kentwood Jaycee to others in our community. It is also a big perk for our members who are business owners! This allows them the opportunity to network with other business owners and potential customers!

   


Softball League!

Each spring the Kentwood Jaycees get a group together to play softball. We participate in the Kentwood Parks and Recreation Co-Ed Monday Night League. In 2008 we ended up with a fairly good team. We ended our season in third place! If you would like to participate in this Softball team you should consider joining the Kentwood Jaycees! Your softball league fees are paid for with your membership dues!
   


Relay for Life

The Kentwood Jaycees are involved in the fight against cancer. The Relay for Life for 2009 has not been set as of yet, but as soon as we have the dates we will post them. Please come out for the 24 hour walk to support the cure.
