JC&A is proud to be a founding partner of PLA! The Professional Ladies Association, co-founded by our own Maureen Rystrom, and we were honored to sponsor yesterday’s annual PLA! for Ellie brunch. This annual fundraiser supporting the Ellie Fund is so near to our hearts, and we are incredibly grateful for the continued opportunity to support its mission of providing essential services to breast cancer patients — easing the stresses of everyday life so they can focus on family, recovery and healing. The event featured powerful, heartfelt conversations with three Ellie Fund recipients, led by the always-outstanding Candy O’Terry. After drying our eyes, we enjoyed a delicious brunch, connected with friends and colleagues, and raised our glasses in a toast to these brave women. We’re proud to support an event rooted in connection, compassion and women lifting one another up.

We Build…® Spooky Traditions Creepy, kooky, altogether spooky! Yesterday afternoon, JC&A celebrated our annual Spooktacular, inviting our little ghouls and goblins into our haunted office to show off their costumes, trick-or-treat, and take in a live magic show! The Annual Spooktacular is a fan favorite tradition here at JC&A, and #justanotherreason we’re considered a Best Place to Work.

JC&A is proud to build for cutting-edge clients like Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering novel therapeutics for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly known as NASH — a serious form of fatty liver disease. Madrigal recently celebrated the ribbon cutting for its new, JC&A-built office in Waltham, MA! Local government officials and community partners, including the American Liver Foundation and MassBio, joined the Madrigal team to mark this exciting milestone and the company’s continued growth and commitment to the Greater Boston life sciences community. As part of the celebration, Madrigal employees also partnered with Life Science Cares Boston and STEAM Ahead to assemble 100 STEAM kits for local students — a great way to mark this new chapter while giving back to the community. Congratulations to the entire Madrigal team. We’re proud to have played a part in building the space for what comes next!

We Build…® with Impact When you’re part of a team, you feel it. You feel seen. Supported. Included. You feel like you belong. That was the idea behind Team IMPACT when it was founded here at JC&A’s Quincy headquarters 15 years ago — to give children facing serious illness the chance to experience the strength, support and sense of belonging that comes from being part of a team. What started with a simple idea has grown into a nationwide movement, now reaching all 50 states, approaching 5,000 children matched and engaging hundreds of thousands of student-athletes along the way. Because the impact goes far beyond the child. It reaches families, coaches and student-athletes who show up for one another and form bonds that can last long after the season ends. Making a difference doesn’t always start with something big. Sometimes, it starts with one person. One team. One decision to show up. Fifteen years later, kids are still waiting to find their team. Families are still looking for that support. And student-athletes across the country are ready to step up and make an IMPACT. 𝘽𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚. #allinalltogether
Making a difference doesn't always look like much at first. But today, YOU can be a part of that difference. 💙 It doesn’t always start with something big. Sometimes, it starts with one person. One gift. One decision to show up. 🎁: bit.ly/4yqvnrv #AllInAllTogether

We Build…® Our Legacy, Together Our 30th Anniversary Celebration was everything we hoped it would be — fun, meaningful, energetic and filled with so many of the people who have helped shape JC&A over the past three decades. Thank you to everyone who came out, celebrated and helped make the night so special! Seeing our team together, surrounded by longtime clients, partners, friends and family, was such a powerful reminder of what JC&A has built over the last 30 years. We keep coming back to Jay’s message from the stage. Thirty years is about much more than the projects we have built. It is about purpose, relationships, integrity and accountability. It is about how we show up for one another, for our clients and partners, and for our communities. Those values have carried JC&A for 30 years, and they are what will carry us forward into the next 30. This was a celebration of our history, but it was also a reminder that there is so much still ahead of us. Thirty years is an incredible milestone, and we are excited for what comes next! Check out a video recap of our big night here: youtu.be/vflE6Jw8SXE

We Build... ® Great Teams We work hard, we play hard—and a little friendly competition never hurts! Yesterday, the JC&A team stepped away from the office for our annual kickball tournament. It was a great fall afternoon with plenty of laughs, a few big plays and maybe a few Oktoberfest beers too. Days like this are part of what make JC&A such a great place to work—and why we’re proud to consistently be recognized among the Best Places to Work. Congratulations to the winning team, who get bragging rights for the rest of the year!

30 years of JC&A. 15 years of Team IMPACT. One legacy built on relationships, community and impact. We were thrilled to have Gabriela Salas sit down with JC&A Founder & CEO Jay Calnan to share the story behind Team IMPACT — how a deeply personal experience, a love of sports and a desire to help children feel included grew into an organization that has transformed lives and college teams across the country. What began right here at JC&A has become a movement, connecting children facing serious illness and disability with college athletic teams and creating lifelong bonds along the way. Thank you, Gabriela Salas, for helping tell this story and shine a light on a legacy that means so much to all of us at JC&A. Watch the full interview now. youtube.com/watch?v=DESyN76Y…

We Build…® The JC&A Way “There’s something incredibly special about celebrating these two milestones together. Both JC&A and Team IMPACT started with an idea and grew because people believed in what was possible, rolled up their sleeves and came together around a shared purpose.” As we celebrate our 30th anniversary here at JC&A and reflect on our recent achievements of being honored by the BBJ as both a Top Charitable Contributor and a Best Place to Work, we can’t help but focus on HOW we got here, a secret to success that our Founder and CEO Jay Calnan refers to as, “Doing Well by Doing Good”. This is a mantra the entire JC&A team has adopted and lives by. Check out this awesome feature story, a candid discussion with Jay about this philosophy and exactly what it means to him and the JC&A team.
