Take Jake

Because Jake's Love for People Knew No Boundaries. Join us and continue his journey. Take Jake with you on your adventures and share the pictures here.

How we got started
Jake loved people and loved to travel. A dear friend’s mother was going to Australia, one place Jake wanted to get to but hadn’t, and she suggested that we send a picture of Jake along with her mother. A simple wallet sized photo that would be easy to access and carry along. She took Jake and put a sticker on the back of the photo document-ing he had been to Australia! Then, ano

ther friend went to Italy shortly after that and took Jake but took some wonderful photos that made me smile. This project came about from wonderful friends who were trying to help me through my grief in a way that would make me smile and laugh, just as Jake always did. Now, we have been asking everyone who travels and goes on an adventure to “take Jake” and snap a photo! Board members

We would love to give a BIG SHOUT out to the Take Jake Community. You all showed up and supported us in so many ways and braved the weather at our car show in October! (SORRY FOR DELAY, MEDICAL ISSUES ) Thanks to generous donations of raffle and auction items, including cash donations, we were able to write a check to Brent's Place in the amount of $20,000.00 for the Nourishment Program! This check is presented on behalf of the entire Take Jake community! Together,we can make a difference...and boy are we ever!

We will be posting our 2026 car show date VERY soon! We have ordered nicer weather too!😉.
