About Jacksonville Automobile Dealers Association

When it comes to community service, the Jacksonville Automobile Dealers Association Inc. (JADA) and its 50 franchise new car & truck member dealers located in Clay and Duval Counties proudly support numerous children and family charities in Northeast Florida and the Association’s own Teens Drive Safe Community Awareness Program. The Teens Drive Safe Community Awareness Program encourages young drivers to follow the Teens Drive Safe “Rules of the Road” to help decrease the number of accidents involving teenage drivers.

As part of the Teens Drive Safe Community Awareness Program, the Jacksonville Automobile Dealers Association brings the New Driver Car Control Clinic to Jacksonville. The New Driver Car Control Clinic teaches teens to know what to do when faced with unexpected situations while operating a motor vehicle. The Association also partners with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the State Attorney’s Office and Duval County Public Schools by sponsoring the JSO’s Teen Driver Challenge and the annual Fraternal Order of Police’s Teen Underage Drinking and Driving Rally.

Annually, the JADA presents the Jacksonville International Car & Truck Show which is the largest automotive event of the year for area member dealers. A portion of the proceeds from this event allows the JADA to support children and family charities in Northeast Florida and the Teens Drive Safe Community Awareness Program. Over the past several years the Association has donated over $600,000 to local charities and the Teens Drive Safe Community Awareness Program.

It is JADA's hope to continue to grow the Jacksonville International Car & Truck Show, and in doing so, accrue more funding for charities. Franchised new car dealers remain a major source and generator of tax revenue, and a principal contributor of both time and money to local charities and civic organizations.
