Celebrate With Us!

Join us on Friday, January 26, 2024, for an unforgettable celebration at the picturesque The Inn at Spanish Bay, Pebble Beach, CA as we commemorate the incredible journey of Junior Achievement (JA) of Northern California since 2005. Our cherished friends and dedicated partners come together annually for a special occasion – the Monterey Bay Business Hall of Fame.

The hallmark event celebrates JA's profound impact on the Central Coast, spotlighting the remarkable accomplishments and enduring legacies of local business and community leaders. These visionaries have played a pivotal role in shaping our community, empowering future generations, and fostering a culture of innovation and growth.

By attending, you are contributing to JA of Northern California 's ongoing mission and vital programs in Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties. The funds raised during this event will propel our efforts to equip and inspire young minds, instilling the values of entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and work readiness.

Let's make this celebration not only a tribute to the past and present, but also a stepping stone towards a promising tomorrow. Mark your calendar, gather your friends, and be part of an afternoon that celebrates both achievement and the potential to create lasting change. Together, we can inspire the next generation and build a thriving community.
