Community Give-Back Initiatives
At JAFAX, we believe in giving back to the community that supports us. Through our partnerships, events, and demonstrations, JAFAX aims to make a positive impact on the lives of local families and individuals. Here’s how we’re contributing:

Giving Back
Blood Drives
JAFAX partners with local blood banks such as Versiti to host blood drives during con weekend. Giving blood is a simple but powerful way to save lives, and we encourage everyone to donate if they can. Check back for information regarding our JAFAX 2025 Versiti blood drive!
Community
Cultural Demonstrations
We host Sumo Wrestling, Taiko Drums, Swordsmanship, and Martial Arts demonstrations at JAFAX to promote cultural appreciation and physical well-being. These demonstrations not only entertain but also educate our attendees about the rich traditions behind these Asian arts.
Future Goals
STEM
JAFAX is dedicated to empowering future generations by creating enriching opportunities for learning, growth, and community engagement. We actively partner with educational institutions and organizations to support students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. At our events, we provide a dynamic platform for individuals and groups to showcase their projects, innovations, and research, celebrating their hard work and creativity. Through these initiatives, JAFAX inspires young minds to explore their passions and gain confidence in their abilities to make a positive impact.
