Event Gallery
New activities are added throughout the year but below is a list of our main events
Fundraisers:
Pink the Rink Started in 2009, we team up with the University of Wisconsin Superior men's and women's hockey teams for an annual fundraiser for breast cancer. The UWS hockey teams wear pink uniforms for one scheduled game in February. Following the game, the jerseys are auctioned off. All profits go towards treating and defeating breast cancer.

Gitchee Gumee Brewfest Started in 1998, this brewfest has grown into the largest brewfest in the Northland. Held in April at Wessman Arena, this annual event has sold out in the past 5 years. Participants can sample over 100 different brews from over 30 different brewers. All profits go back into the community. Click here to see the Gitchee Gumee Brewfest Website
Jaycees Golf Scramble Started in 2005, our annual Golf Scramble at Nemadji Golf Course continues to grow. Held in August, we have strived to stay focused on putting together a fun and affordable golf scramble - and it's been working. Our golf scramble is followed by a dinner and silent auction. The past 4 years, we have teamed up with Superior Area Hockey Association with all the profits going to the scholarship fund or providing starter equipment bundles.

Community Service Projects:
Pitch, Hit and Run Every May, we host a local competition for the MLB sponsored baseball skills competition for the local youth to participate in. The winners of the local competition are invited to the regional competition.
Jaycees Sandbox Fill With the help of local businesses and the City of Superior, every June the Jaycees fill children's sandboxes with fresh clean sand for them to enjoy at no cost.
Adopt-a-Highway The Jaycees sponsor a two-mile stretch of Highway 2 between Wentworth and Poplar. Twice a year we go out and pick up the trash on the sides of the busy highway, followed by pizza and refreshments at Rapids Riverside.
Salvation Army Bell Ringing We ring the bells twice a year, once in July and once in December to raise money for the local Salvation Army.
Punt, Pass and Kick Every August, we team up with the Superior Youth Football Program and host a local competition for the NFL sponsored football skills competition for the local youth to participate in. The winners of the local competition are invited to the regional competition.

Social Activities:
Business After Five We co-sponsor a Chamber BAF event each year in December. A night of socializing and networking while collecting toys to kick off the local Toys for Tots toydrive in Superior.
Dragonboats Every August, the Jaycees put together a team to participate in the Lake Superior Dragonboat Festival held by the local Rotary. We have a great time at the event either under our canopy or paddling in the festival. In 2009, we earned the gold medal in the Bronze Division at the festival.
Progressive Dinners We have appetizers at one house, dinner at another, desserts & drinks at another...you get the idea, a lot of fun with fellow Jaycees
