Donate to Artis Gilmore

Jacksonville already knows Artis Gilmore. In 1970, “The A-Train” led Jacksonville University to the NCAA championship game, and for one season the whole city came together to cheer for the same team. He went on to an 11-time All-Star career and a place in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Then he came home.

For almost twenty years, Artis has served JU and his community off the court. He has raised money for children’s literacy, visited troops and hospital patients, and shown up for neighbors who needed someone in their corner. As a grandfather and a caregiver to his two grandsons on the spectrum, he knows what Jacksonville families need and what too many of them go without.

Now he’s running for City Council At-Large Group 3 to build:

• Opportunity for every resident, including real support for children and adults with special needs and youth programs that help kids finish their education
• Affordable living for working families and seniors
• Neighborhoods we’re proud of, with clean streets, safe parks, good roads, and serious code enforcement against blight

Artis has spent his life on teams that win by working together. From Durbin Park to Dinsmore, he’s ready to bring this city together one more time.

Chip in today to help Artis take his best shot for Jacksonville.
