Jasper Endows Today and Tomorrow (JETT) recently presented two grant checks to the Southwestern Indiana Child Advocacy Center Coalition (SWICACC) and The Next Act, Inc.

     Emily Klein from SWICACC accepted the JETT grant from Luke Hoffman, Kelli Lampert, and Felicia Buechler (above left). SWICACC will use this grant to help start a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Medical Clinic in Jasper. SANE are registered nurses who have received specialized education in the provision of comprehensive care to patients who have been or are suspected of having been sexually or physically assaulted, abused, or exploited.

     Rafaela Schaick and Jana Clayton, representing The Next Act, Inc., accepted the JETT grant from Luke Hoffman, Kelli Lampert, Felicia Buechler, and Kyle Lueken (above right). Their grant will continue renovating the historic Astra Theatre in Jasper, including installing a new Green Room for performers and allowing the theatre’s volunteers to use the previous Green Room during shows and downtime.
