Who are we?

We are the Philadelphia Organizing Committee of Team Jamaica Bickle, formed by Blane F. Stoddart. Our organization serves as a host for the visiting athletes participating in the annual Penn Relays.

What do we do?

During Penn Relays week, we coordinate volunteers to assist with activities, including providing hospitality services at the TJB Carnival tent, partnering with local restaurants to provide meals, and providing transportation between the hotel and event.

How can I get involved?

If you want to help out, consider becoming a volunteer. Volunteers are important to the success of our organization. Without them, we would not be able to provide outstanding service to our athletes year after year.
