The Greenfield Jaycees began October 31, 1982. Currently, we have approximately
30 members and growing. When you join the Greenfield Junior Chamber (Jaycees), you
also become a member of the Wisconsin Junior Chamber, the United States Junior Chamber
and the Junior Chamber International!
Some of our signature projects are listed below:
We hold an Annual Easter Egg Scramble on the weekend prior to Easter. Every year
approximately 500 children scramble to collect Easter Eggs filled with candy and
prize slips. It takes months of intensive work and planning and in a matter of seconds
the scramble is over! Area businesses set up booths at the scramble with information
and activities for the children.
In 2004, the Greenfield Jaycees took over the Greenfield Fourth of July Celebration.
We have a parade, live music, a variety of food, games and rides for kids, and Greenfield’s
famous fireworks display.
We host Pitch, Hit and Run, and Punt, Pass and Kick; which are free skills competitions
for kids to showcase their abilities in the perspective areas.
One of our primary Ways and Means Projects throughout the year is the running of
various casinos for local businesses and organizations. Through running these casinos,
we are able to donate additional money to various worthy organizations and fund
our activities. If you would like a casino for your company or organization, please
call (414)571-2132.
