Fundraisers & Our Community

Fill Contributing positively to our communities is very important to JIU and we have been actively involved in giving back to our local communities since the founding of our company in 1995.

Most of us know that eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day is a great way to maintain a healthy diet. At JIU, we strive to provide our customers healthier lifestyle options not only through our products, but also through our involvement in local programs that promote physical activity.

Our cause related platform for donations and sponsorship, aims to support physical fitness for youth nationwide. We do this by providing assistance to local organizations that have the same goal! Why focus on youth and exercise? The scary fact is that more than 75 percent of US children are not active for even 20 minutes a day, and the number of overweight and obese children has more than doubled over the past two decades. This means that more children and teens are at risk for such serious conditions as diabetes and premature heart disease.

With energy from JIU, you'll move, jump, ride, run and play-naturally! So get out there, breathe in fresh air, soak in the sunshine and get moving. A daily dose of exercise is essential for good health, builds a strong heart, and, most importantly, makes you feel good! What could be more important? Explore your passions, refresh your body, and sweat out the events of the day-but don't forget to have fun too!

BLENDING WITH THE COMMUNITY

JIU's effort to support active youth is as strong on a local level as it is on a corporate level.


The store sponsored nine T-Ball teams this session. Kids Fair as a fundraiser, participated in school carnivals and joined in the city's  events at the city pool.

The store also delivers All Fruit Smoothies™ to four local schools every day as a way to provide healthy food choices for students.
