Dog Pound Inc.
Daryl Hastings Youth Baseball Memorial Fund
The Ignitor Bowling Tournament
In September of 2019, our CJ family mourned an unexpected loss with the passing of Daryl Hastings. Daryl was a husband, father, brother-in-law, and son-in-law within our organization, as well as a friend and invaluable team member for 28 years. In honor of his passing, the Hastings family started a foundation to raise money for local youth sports, one of Daryl’s passions. He loved the game of baseball and was a mentor and coach to many kids throughout the area. He was also an avid bowler, bowling in men’s leagues at age 14, and still holds numerous City of Waukesha records. Dog Pound Inc. was set up to support sports opportunities for young athletes within our community. The Hastings’ have gifted over $10,000 since its inception, and plan to continue to grow the fund in Daryl’s honor for many years to come.
Designing With Heart
At CJ & Associates, the Go Red for Women movement is more than a cause, it’s a calling. Our passion to raise awareness for heart health is something we proudly do to honor the memory of our co-founder, Judy Rudy. It is her legacy that inspires our passion, and our action.
We’re proud sponsors and active participants in Milwaukee’s Go Red for Women initiatives. From filling our office with Tribute Hearts and wearing red every Friday (because one day a year isn’t enough) to matching donations through the Open Your Heart Campaign, we stand united in the fight against heart disease, the number one killer of women.
Together, we’ve helped raise more than $450,000, and we’re just getting started.
- Scholarships – We support future business leaders through the CJ & Associates, Inc. Endowed Scholarship at UW-Whitewater for first-year business students.
