Description

15 years ago we had the first JonJam. Out of a tragedy, came the formation of a nonprofit organization called “The Jon Lee Foundation”.  Jon fell and severed his spinal cord in 2008 leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.  Jon’s friends came together sharing their music and talents and organized an event called “JonJam”.  With the proceeds from JonJam came the formation of The R.E.A.L. Project (Refurbished Equipment Assisting Lives) which opened in October 2010 at the Wiregrass Rehabilitation Center. Since then, the organization has loaned out or donated over 1000 pieces of equipment each year with around a savings of $650,000 per year if equipment were purchased new.  The R.E.A.L. Project is a central place for people to bring any used medical equipment for people with disabilities of all ages. The mission is helping people in the Wiregrass with  physical disabilities gain more independence and quality of life. AMBUCS now functions as part of The Jon Lee Foundation, giving more than 300 bikes since the local chapter opened in 2012. Join us for a great event and raise much needed funds for these organizations
