The Decatur Jaycees sponsor four annual events
which are not only a lot of fun, but also benefit the community. Our events
include the Special Friends Party, Wet Dog Triathlon, Riverfest, and the
Jaycees Christmas Parade. Please see below for dates and more information
about each event.
Since 1998, the Decatur Jaycees have raised over $100,000 which we have
donated to local charitable organizations, including Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Morgan County, PACT, FACES, the Morgan County Rescue Squad, the
Carnegie Visual Arts Center, and many others.
Each year we sponsor the Special Friends Party for foster
children in Decatur. We had over 130 foster children and parents in
attendance last year.
