INHOUSE JSH
EVENTS
Whether we’re celebrating a birthday or a holiday, helping to raise money for worthy charities, or participating in community events,
JSH employees always have something fun going on. The pictures below were taken at our Indoor Company Picnic. July in Phoenix
isn’t the most ideal time for an outdoor picnic, so we bring it inside! This year for the 4th of July, we celebrated with delicious BBQ
food and a patriotic t-shirt contest. Congratulations to our patriotic t-shirt winners, Gwen Coon, Linda Mason and Cindy Miller!

Backpack Drive for
Children’s First Academy
Was that a Christmas tree you may have seen in our 7th Floor
lobby – in the middle of Summer? Yes it was! JSH kicked off
its second annual backpack drive for Children’s First Academy
in July. Each ornament on the tree represented a boy or a
girl and an age range. JSH employees and lawyers selected
an ornament and stuffed a backpack with age appropriate
supplies such as pencils, paper, notebooks, markers, rulers, etc.
The kids at Children’s First Academy are near and dear to
our hearts. They mainly live in shelters, or on the street. We
do special things throughout the year for these kids, but this
backpack drive is one of the most important. Our goal is to
help keep these kids in school, and give them what they need
to excel.
This year’s Christmas in July Backpack Drive was so successful
that we were able to donate enough backpacks and school
supplies for all 300 Children’s First Academy students!
JSH’s IronMEN
Coming up in November, JSH appellate associate Jon Barnes will
compete alongside 3,000 other athletes in the Ironman Arizona
triathlon. An Ironman triathlon is a grueling, all-day endurance event,
consisting of a 2.4-mile open water swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a full
marathon (26.2-mile run). Jon will have until midnight to complete the
140.6-mile course, for which he has spent most of the year preparing.
Everyone in the JSH family wishes Jon the best of luck! (Photo on left)
JSH associate Jason Kasting completed Ironman Arizona last November
in 11 hours and 57 minutes (well before the 17-hour cutoff), and continued
his journey this year by completing Ironman Mont-Tremblant in Quebec,
Canada, one of the most mountainous and difficult courses on the
circuit, in only 12 hours and 18 minutes. Jason will also run his eleventh
marathon on November 2, 2014 in New York City. (Photo on right)
