Jack and Jill Day is a national tradition that brings families together to celebrate family, fellowship, and the shared experiences that strengthen the Jack and Jill community.

​

Each September, the Phenomenal Phoenix Chapter kicks off the program year with Jack and Jill Day, observed in conjunction with Carole Robertson Day. Our families come together to reconnect, welcome new families, learn about the history and significance of Jack and Jill Day, and enjoy meaningful fellowship as we begin another year of learning, leadership, service, and connection.

Carole Robertson Day honors the life and legacy of Carole Robertson, a 14-year-old Jack and Jill teen who was killed in the bombing of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church on September 15, 1963.

​

Each September, the Phenomenal Phoenix Chapter joins chapters nationwide in remembering Carole’s life through meaningful reflection, service, and youth-centered activities that encourage our children to understand the importance of civil rights, unity, racial harmony, and justice. Her legacy continues to inspire our youth to lead with courage, serve with compassion, and help create a more just world.

Service takes center stage each January as the Phenomenal Phoenix Chapter joins Jack and Jill families across the nation in honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

​

Through meaningful service projects that support our local community, Phoenix families put compassion, leadership, and service into action. From volunteering and organizing donations to supporting children and families in need, our members demonstrate for our youth that leadership includes serving others and making a meaningful difference in their communities.

Founders’ Day commemorates the founding of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated, and honors the vision of our founder, Marion Stubbs Thomas, and the mothers who helped build the organization’s enduring legacy.

 

The Phenomenal Phoenix Chapter carries this tradition forward through our Founders’ Day High Tea and Associates’ Appreciation celebration. During this special gathering, Mother Members honor our chapter’s history, hear words of wisdom from our Associate Jewels about their experiences as Jack and Jill mothers, and celebrate our Associates for paving the way for generations of mothers and families who followed.

National Black Family Day celebrates the strength, unity, culture, and enduring legacy of the Black family. The observance also recognizes Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated’s entry into the Congressional Record on May 5, 1987, as the organization embarked upon a Black Family Day of Celebration.

​

The Phenomenal Phoenix Chapter brings our full chapter membership and families together to celebrate family unity through fellowship, family fun, and activities that promote physical health and well-being. Through these shared experiences, we strengthen family connections while celebrating the Black family at the heart of our Jack and Jill experience.
