The Chatham Jaycees extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of our organization and for celebrating 50 years of the Chatham Jaycees Sweet Corn Festival with us! From our first festival in 1973 to our milestone 50th festival in 2025, our community has stood beside us, making this event a beloved summer tradition in the Village of Chatham.
Over the years, the Sweet Corn Festival has become the primary source of funding for the Jaycees’ community initiatives. One of the most impactful programs made possible by SCF is the annual Clothes for Kids Program. In partnership with St. John’s Lutheran Church of Chatham, Meijer, and the Ball-Chatham School District, we organize an annual shopping trip to provide children in need with new winter clothing.
The Chatham Jaycees are a 100% volunteer-driven organization, and SCF is no exception. Each year, our club grows in number as community members and like-minded organizations come together to make the "World’s Greatest Festival in the World" a reality.
At the heart of the Chatham Jaycees is our belief that "service to humanity is the best work of life." Everything we accomplish and give back to the community is a direct result of you—our supporters, partners, and friends. We are eternally grateful for your support and look forward to another unforgettable Chatham Jaycees Sweet Corn Festival—the summer weekend where everyone is a Chatham Jaycee!
