 Alston Bird in Partnership with Home Depot

August 7, 2010

 

On Saturday, August 7, several volunteers from Alston Bird's Dallas and Atlanta offices came to Jubilee to assist with renovations in the remodeled Teen Center. Two members of the Home Depot flooring department offered a tutorial to the volunteers on how to install the wood flooring and stayed late into the afternoon to help complete the project. The volunteers also picked up trash in and around the park and Resource Center. The volunteers were wonderful, and everyone at Jubilee is looking forward to having Alston Bird and Home Depot  become more active in this community! 

 

     

 

 

 

 

Double D Ranch 

July 23, 2010

 

On Friday, July 23, Jubilee volunteer and Saint Michael parishioner Mike Davis from Arch Insurance  sponsored a trip for over 120 Jubilee children to go on a field trip to the Double D Ranch in Mesquite, Texas. The kids were at the ranch from 9am until 2pm, and they had tons of fun! The older kids were able to play on the paddle boats in the lake, and the younger kids played mini golf, visited the petting zoo, and spent a lot of time running and playing all over the property! Thank you Mike and Arch Insurance! 

 

          

 

 

The Day of Champions sponsored by the Greater Dallas Justice Revival

 July 21, 2010

 

On Wednesday, July 21, 2010, several former NFL and College players and coaches came to Jubilee Park to lead children ages 8 to 18 in a football camp. The camp focused on teaching the kids self-discipline and respect as well as skills to use in various sports. Throughout the day, the children were able to hear stories from the players and coaches of how they overcame the odds to succeed in what they do. The most touching part of the day was hearing the children yell "I CAN!" in unison. Jubilee is so grateful to Saint Michael and The Justice Revival for sponsoring such a wonderful day!

Pricewaterhouse Coopers

On Friday, June 11, forty-eight volunteers from Pricewaterhouse Coopers came to Jubilee for their "Day of Giving." The volunteers were split into teams where some landscaped community members' gardens while others helped renovate our house into a teen center. Together, the group lanscaped four yards in the neighborhood, painted six rooms in the house, laid wood-flooring down in two rooms, and even tore down a wall in the kitchen to make the room more open! The volunteers returned on Friday, June 18 to complete the work they had begun the week before. Thank you, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, for doing such an amazing job!

Volunteers brought boxes of sidewalk chalk, hoola-hoops, sporting equipment, and water balloons! The children had a blast playing kickball, relay races, water balloon toss, and even a few rounds of "Simon Says!" Thank you, Associate Producers, for helping our children have fun and be safe while their parents were in meetings!
