A pretty special day for JP Innovation Project in Vermont 💜⛳️

Yesterday, Jim and Pam Pettine — James’s mom and dad — teamed up with longtime family friends Nannette and Bobby to represent JPIP at the 26th Annual Vermont Agency Foundation All Charity Golf Tournament at Burlington Country Club.

Golf was something James loved, which makes seeing his family and friends out on the course, playing in his name nearly 20 years later, especially meaningful.

The tournament brings teams together to compete on behalf of children’s charities, raising funds that go directly back into organizations serving young people. We’re incredibly grateful to The Vermont Agency Foundation, Burlington Country Club, and everyone who makes this event possible year after year.

JP Innovation Project was created to keep James’s spirit moving forward by creating opportunities for underserved youth through education, technology, connection, and experiences that help kids thrive.

And days like this are a pretty great reminder that his impact is still growing.

Thank you Jim, Pam, Nannette and Bobby for representing JPIP — and, most importantly, James. 💜

JPIP was proud to help provide 3 scholarships for students to attend Camp Invention at Frisco Elementary, opening the door to hands-on STEM learning, creativity, problem-solving, and invention.

During our visit, we got to see young innovators designing, testing, tinkering, and bringing their ideas to life.

Thank you to Camp Invention and Frisco Elementary for creating such an inspiring space for students to imagine what’s possible. 💙💙💙

✨ FULLY FUNDED ✨

Swipe to see the sweetest thank you cards from the Essex High School Robotics Team 💙

With your help, we fully funded a $556 project for Dr. Elias and the team to get critical tools and equipment for this year’s FIRST Tech Challenge season and it paid off. They won the Think Award, had two Dean’s List finalists, and earned a spot at the Regional Premier Event. 🚀

Your support gave them the independence they needed to build and compete no more borrowing drills or Allen keys from another teacher’s classroom. These students are building, solving, and dreaming big and we're proud to be part of their journey.

🌟 We supported @camptakumta Amazon wish list! 🌟

One of the ways we love supporting our projects is through their Amazon wish list. This way, we can see and help purchase the items our projects need for their programs and have items shipped directly to them. Thanks to your support, we provided the supplies they needed for an amazing summer camp. Together, we make a difference! 🙌✨
