How we got started
Jake loved people and loved to travel. A dear friend’s mother was going to Australia, one place Jake wanted to get to but hadn’t, and she suggested that we send a picture of Jake along with her mother. A simple wallet sized photo that would be easy to access and carry along. She took Jake and put a sticker on the back of the photo document-ing he had been to Australia! Then, ano

ther friend went to Italy shortly after that and took Jake but took some wonderful photos that made me smile. This project came about from wonderful friends who were trying to help me through my grief in a way that would make me smile and laugh, just as Jake always did. Now, we have been asking everyone who travels and goes on an adventure to “take Jake” and snap a photo! Board members

Shannon has received two cornea transplants, one in her twenties and one as a mom of four boys. Because of her gifts of restored sight, Shannon doesn’t play small with life – she is grateful every day, says yes often, loves sports and discovering new things like MMA with her boys. Shannon and her son recently enjoyed being a part of and sharing her appreciation for eye tissue donors and their families.

Shout out to Paula and Bob for this super fun build and donation to Take Jake! Who wouldn't love thier own "Gas Hopper"? Fun for kids and adults!

"This GO CART was a build started in 1998. Then, in 1999 wished to give it to a friend of ours grandson after finding out he was diagnosed with Perthes at the age of 5. Perches is a rare childhood disease where blood flow is cut off to tge femur head causing the bone to die. This caused him to be wheelchair bound for a year. Over the years he has had a successful recovery. With his health success, we feel Take Jake is a better give for charity"
Paula and Bob Bardon

We will be selling raffle tickets 10.00 each from now thru car show, drawing will be held day of! Please reachout to us directly if you wish to purchase prior to the show. Only board members are selling tickets so please be aware of all the scammers!
