📣 Small Business Owners — Want to Be Featured on “Where is Jake Wednesday”? 📣

Sun is finally shining in NY, and Jake & Sarah are ready to get out of the office and into the community! 🚗💨☀️

This is our way of showing up as good neighbors and celebrating the businesses that make our communities feel like home.

We’re reaching out to small businesses because we truly get it. You don’t just “run a business”—you show up, take the leap, work the long days, and pour your heart into what you do. As a mother of 3, grandmother of 1, and a small business owner, I know the sacrifice, the pressure, and the pride that comes with serving others. That’s why we’re doing this: with compassion and passion for small businesses to partner together, support one another, and help each other grow. 💛

This is more than a visit—it’s a neighbor-to-neighbor spotlight. If you’re proud of your business, team, and the people you serve… we want to highlight you! 🌟

We’re looking for businesses like:
✅ Barbershops & salons
✅ Restaurants & cafés
✅ Gyms & fitness studios
✅ Auto shops & service businesses
✅ Boutiques & local retail
✅ Grocery Stores
…and more!

What you’ll get:
✨ A fun, community-focused spotlight
📸 Social media exposure + local customer attention
🎉 A post written in our “Where is Jake Wednesday” style

If you want Sarah & Jake to visit your business, reach out to us!

📩 Contact Us: [email protected] ,Text: 607-299-8080, or simply comment on this post

📍 Send your business name, location, and what you’d like Sarah & Jake to check out!

Let’s keep it neighborly—and turn local into a spotlight. Good neighbors build strong communities. 🙂💛

Had a great time supporting the Passion Softball team this weekend! 🥎💪🎉 Congrats to all the athletes who showed up and gave it their best.

There’s nothing better than seeing our local softball players from all different local schools come together on one team—playing with heart, teamwork, and grit. 🤝🏆

Supporting each other while showcasing their skills to help them get noticed and earn the opportunity to play in college is what it’s all about. 📣✨🥎

Proud to have helped support and be a part of it. ❤️🌟🏟️ BTW.......

Man you ladies can really hit that ball! 🥎💥😄
And no worries—Jake and I checked out the tent and there’s no insurance claim needed. ✅🏕️😂

We took those balls like a champ too! 🫡🎯🥎😄

🏀 Hey neighbors! My name is Sarah Galutz, a local State Farm® Agent who services much of upstate NY. I’m reaching out for State Farm® Red Nets—a nationwide effort to bring new basketball nets to local parks and community centers that need them. 🙌

Let’s bring neighbors together to shoot some hoops, meet each other, and celebrate the court improving. 🏀❤️

If you know a park, gym, or community center with an outdoor court or hoops that could use a net, I’d love your help! 📍✨

Please share:
✅ The best contact's name & phone/email for who approves donations
✅ The facility name + court location/address
✅ About how many hoops are at the location

Please email me at [email protected]

📣 Bonus idea: We’d love to partner on a net install day with staff/volunteers, plus a fun community moment—either around an upcoming event already planned or by helping create one! 🎉🤝

📩 I can then reach out to see if they’d be interested in receiving a free net. Nets typically arrive in 2–3 weeks once details are confirmed. (And yes—no cost, no obligation to anyone) 😊

Drop your suggestions in the comments or message me directly by email at [email protected]! 👇🏀

Together, let’s help more kids get to play with safe, new nets! 🌟🏟️
