Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana is near and dear to my heart. I have been lucky enough to be on the staff for 9 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. This year we’ve come up with ways to give students access to mentors and these experiences virtually.  

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 $300. I would love if you could help. Donating is easy, click the Donate Now button on this page. Cash and checks are also gladly accepted. Any amount large or small will help.

We truly believe that if students know about our three pillars (financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship) by the time they graduate high school, they will be able to make wise decisions going into their adult years. Please consider joining me in our campaign to raise money for our local students. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your generosity, I really appreciate it!
