Posted

On July 10 a couple from the DJ Jacobs Memorial Helmet Fund donated eight high-end children’s ATV helmets to our October car show.

Their young son lost his life in a tragic accident in Star Valley. As a result, they purchased 224 helmets and donated most of them to the Hellsgate Fire Department where his accident happened.

There were a few remaining helmets left which they graciously donated to the Knights of Columbus Council No. 7243 for the benefit of The Boys and Girls Club of Apache Junction.

The Knights of Columbus Council No. 7243 and The Boys and Girls Club of Apache Junction greatly appreciate this very thoughtful and heartfelt donation.
