Organizer



The Frankenmuth Jaycee is volunteer organization, which offers its members the opportunity to become involved in their community to create a better place to live, work, and play. The Frankenmuth Jaycees work throughout the year on various fundraising projects to be able to help support our local community efforts.

On July 3, 2010 we held our 35th annual Volksläufe, one of the chapter’s oldest fundraising events. With the volunteer efforts of our members and the support of our community the 2010 Volksläufe was a success thanks to the over 2,800 runners, 6,000 spectators, and the 500 volunteers that participated. After the conclusion of the event, the Frankenmuth Jaycee’s allocated all the monies raised by the Volksläufe in an effort to keep Saginaw County, and Frankenmuth, an outstanding place to live, work, worship and play! Some of the beneficiaries of these funds were: Girls on the Run Program,  Junior Achievement, Frankenmuth Fire Department, Frankenmuth Police Department, Health Delivery, Frankenmuth High school German Club, Medal4Mettle and the Young Champions group.
