Gainesville Job Corps Center was among the top 20 highest supporters of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). August 29, 2011, the Gainesville Job Corps Center donated $630 to help children battling muscle disease. GJCC’s support helped MDA raise over $68, 000. The center’s contribution was the 12th highest amount donated in Alachua County.

During the month of August, the student government association hosted MDA barbeques, staff wore jeans on Fridays and voluntarily donated their time and resources to assist with this worthy cause.
