Support Bounce Delivery Driver Scott’s Road to Recovery

Tragedy struck the party rental community today. Bounce Delivery Driver Scott Hartke and his 15-year-old son Scott Jr. are dedicated members of the team at JT Jumpers and More, a business owned by Jeff Bowlin, nestled in the heartland of Indiana.

Their routine delivery day suddenly turned into a nightmare as they loaded their vehicle post-setup completion. It seemed to be just another workday until an oncoming vehicle, oblivious to their presence, collided with Scott Hartke, leaving him with a shattered leg and ankle and requiring observation for other potential internal injuries. His 15-year-old son, Scott Jr., witnessed the horrific event.

Scott, the primary provider for his family, now lies injured, with his wife Jessica by his side. As a fellow business owner in the same industry, the fear of such accidents weighs heavily, serving as an important reminder of how fragile life is and the abruptness of change.

In this uncertain moment, let us rally together as a party rental community/owners, offering our support and generosity to assist Scott and his family on their path to recovery. Every donation extended is a ray of hope in the darkness. Let us come together, extending our compassion and solidarity, for today it is Scott Hartke, but tomorrow it could be any one of us.

Please keep Scott and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Owner Jeff Bowlin is consumed with worry for his employee and is tirelessly working to support them. A special acknowledgment to fellow operator and party owner Bailey Huber for stepping in to complete Scott and Jeff's route.

This industry is truly remarkable! Forge those connections, and together, we can overcome nearly anything! Remember, safety should always come first. Reflect on how you can enhance your processes to ensure the well-being of your staff or yourself.

Thank you, everyone, for your support and generosity during this challenging time.
