JAX MVP The Jaguars in partnership with Gunster, have created a unique opportunity for a select group of local emerging leaders to join the fourth annual JAX MVP class to engage in exclusive networking and leadership development opportunities while supporting the Jaguars Foundation and the Jacksonville community. MVPs are selected to participate by their CEOs or senior staff. This group meets at the stadium for a monthly leadership meeting March-October. The Jaguars staff that runs the program – the JAX MVP Committee – brings in various guest speakers including members of the Jaguars leadership team, shares different literature on leadership, allows opportunities to network and grants VIP access to Jaguars events and facilities. This part of the program is focused on the creation and support of the next Jacksonville leaders. One of the key leadership objectives is to share, through experience, the importance non-profi t organizations represent to vibrant communities. As such, one important aspect of the JAX MVP experience will include fundraising. The members are given support by the Jaguars to develop and implement creative ideas to achieve their fundraising goals. Each MVP is challenged to raise $5,000 over the course of the program. Funds raised contribute directly to the Jacksonville community through the Jaguars Foundation. Over $350,000 has been raised for the Jaguars Foundation since the program’s inception in 2016.
