Thanks to all who attended, supported, donated, and believed in the future of Northern California students!

Together, we raised over $250,000.00!

We are so proud of our community! All of the unsung heroes—the volunteers and educators—who stepped up during this challenging year and still had the energy and compassion to go that extra mile. To you, our hats are off!

To our corporate partners and consistent funders; we wish the students and educators knew every one of you. If they did, they would surely express gratitude for providing important and life-changing financial, entrepreneurial, and work readiness education.

To the fantastic people who not only donated their time, they were live on-air; Angela Tamura, Chef de Cuisine; Jeff Birkemeier, wine expert; Christian Pepe, JA Specialty Cocktail creator; and The Money Band, you rock! And our formidable emcee, Jobina Fortson. Well, you all rock! What fun!!

Immerse yourself in the beautiful Monterey Bay from the comfort of your home, virtually.

Join us for a special fundraising* event as we visit the sites, tastes, and sounds of Monterey Bay with live presentations from Pebble Beach, local restaurants, wineries and other attractions you've just got to see! There will also be a special tribute to this year's unsung heroes, educators and volunteers.

We can't wait to see you at JA's 2021 virtual Hall of Fame.

*Proceeds benefit Junior Achievement's financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness programs, improving the lives of students with the skills necessary to be successful in college and career.

Created by Christian Pepe, Head Mixologist at the Pepe family restaurants: Little Napoli, Vino Napoli and Vesuvio in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

The “JA Hero’s Highball” was created by master mixologist Christian Pepe to honor the unsung heroes who have gone above and beyond to make a difference for JA youth: the educators, volunteers and JA champions who carried the mission through a challenging year. We salute their service and extend our heartfelt thanks and congratulations as we celebrate together virtually at this year’s JA Hall of Fame event.

Christian conceived this signature cocktail as a riff on the refreshing summer “lemon drop” cocktail, which is a favorite of bar patrons coming in after a day at Carmel Beach. Dry gin, a hint of spice, and the aromatics of fresh basil combine with the refreshing squeeze of lemon to make this the perfect drink for a summer evening. Christian’s creation calls for simple, easy to find ingredients in a straightforward recipe with just enough sophistication to evoke an evening in beautiful Carmel-by-the-Sea.

The green basil and yellow lemon wheel pay homage to the signature “green and gold” of the Junior Achievement brand. Enjoy your JA Hero’s Highball and thanks for supporting this year’s Virtual Hall of Fame. Cheers!

In a cocktail shaker, combine:

- Sprig of fresh basil

- 2 oz. dry gin of choice

- 1 oz. simple syrup

- 1 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Shake vigorously. Fill a tall (highball) glass with ice. Pour cocktail over ice (with a strainer if possible.) Add a splash of club soda. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil and a lemon wheel. Enjoy!

What a GREAT JA Hall of Fame!
