"When our son Jesse went missing, we had to reach out from Belton MO to Chicago IL. The police were business like, but not really a lot of help for our family at this critical time. We discovered Kelly and Project Jason on the web. She told us all the things the police didn't, what agencies were out there, the things that we could be doing on our own. She offered personal advice and thru her own personal experience she helped us understand ourselves and what was happening to us. Project Jason helped us get Jesse's story out to the nation. She also helped us deal with those who would take unfair advantage of people like us (so called psychics, etc.) Probably one of the most dear things she did for us was to be a friend."

Bands take action for the missing
BY NIZ PROSKOCIL
| On Saturday, four local musical acts will join forces to raise money for the nonprofit Project Jason, which raises awareness of missing persons. The concert features performances from Criteria, Race for Titles, Little Brazil and Kyle Harvey. Jolkowski was 19 when he was last seen in June 2001 near 48th and Pinkney Streets. His parents, Jim and Kelly Jolkowski, founded Project Jason to improve public awareness about missing people, to educate families about what to do if a family member disappears and to support the families of missing people. Mike Perry, Jolkowski's friend and former colleague at radio station 89.7 the River, is coordinating the concert along with Joe Vavak. Both are owners of Omaha-based Someday Never Records, which is hosting the concert. Perry, 25, who helped train Jolkowski to be on the air, remembers him as a quiet guy who was friendly to everyone. | Project Jason Benefit When: 9 p.m. Saturday Where: Sokol Underground, 13th and Martha Streets How much: $7 Information: www.somedaynever.com |
He was known as J.J. when he worked as a disc jockey at the River. Perry said all four bands were happy to donate their time and talent. "It's a worthy cause with realistic strategies for reuniting homeless children with their loved ones," Steve Pedersen, singer-guitarist of rock group Criteria, said of Project Jason. The fund-raising efforts won't end with Saturday's concert. Someday Never Records plans to release a compilation CD later this summer with all proceeds from the disc going to Project Jason.
