Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana is near and dear to my heart. I have been lucky enough to be on the staff for 11 years. Our mission at JA is to inspire young people to own their own economic success. We do this by sending volunteer mentors into the classroom to teach the students the basics about financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship as well as through our JA BizTown® and JA Finance Park® experiential learning programs. Many of your kids have benefited from these programs in the classroom.

In order to provide our JA programs to the schools without cost, we host fundraisers throughout the year. One of our biggest fundraisers is the JA Achieve-A-Bowl. Our staff is rallying together and raising money for our organization. I am reaching out to you today to see if you might be able to help. My personal goal is to raise $400. I would love if you could help. Many of your employers will match your donation!
