JATA is proud to support AWARE's Men Who Cook Chef Challenge, an initiative that helps raise funds for survivors of domestic and sexual violence in our community.

This year, our own Hunter Causie is participating in the challenge and working toward a $500 fundraising goal. Every dollar raised goes directly to AWARE and the critical services they provide to individuals and families in need.

We invite our riders, community partners, employees, and supporters to join us in making a difference. Any contribution, no matter the size, helps support AWARE's mission and strengthens our community.
