Ask JPMorgan Chase to stop sponsoring DART ads

Via email: JPMorgan Chase is a major contributor to the Family Place the sponsor of the DART bus ads. Please send an email to elaine.agather-at-jpmorganchase.com and ask that she ask the Family Place and DART to remove these offensive ads immediately. Hitting the sponsors of an organization is a great way to get their attention. Elaine will be back to read her emails by Thursday I am told.

Our Partners

JPMorgan Chase

Chase, the presenting sponsor of The Family Place Partners Card 2007, is a leading corporate citizen in Dallas, building long-term partnerships with nonprofit organizations whose success is vital to the prosperity of our communities. Each year, Chase provides financial resources, technical assistance, investments and loans, and volunteer support to a broad range of organizations in three key areas: community asset development, youth education, and arts and culture.

Throughout the year, Chase employee volunteers organize team projects and offer their individual time on behalf of many organizations like The Family Place, including Junior Achievement, Big Brothers Big Sisters, UNCF, Rebuilding Together, Meals on Wheels and the Salvation Army.

"We know that investing in our communities is not only the right thing to do, it makes good business sense too, "said Elaine Agather, Chairman of Chase's Dallas Region. "We are committed to using our financial resources, and our professional expertise to enhance and strengthen the communities where we live and work."

JPMorgan Chase serves more than 90 million customers and the world's most prominent corporate, institutional and government clients. It is the largest bank in the Metroplex with a local workforce exceeding 8,900 bankers. Chase has deep roots in Dallas, tracing its local heritage back to 1916.

Since the completion of the merger with Bank One, Chase has more than 100 bank branches located across Dallas/Fort Worth to serve customers. As part of its commitment to the local economy, Chase has long been a leading SBA lender in Dallas and has a strong commitment to lending to women- and minority-owned businesses.
