Some of you have supported this event in the past and I appreciate your generosity. Many of you may still have an opportunity to add a little more to that year end giving. Junior Acheivement was a big part of my early career and I never forget the many years I spent in the classrooms working with kids of all ages. Help me get to my goal of $500. There is always a reward for your generosity. If you are the first to donate I will give you a $25 QT gift card (no minimum required). If you donate the most of all of my friends I will take you to lunch at McGill's. Let's get it started! I always appreciate your friendship and I look forward to making this a succesful event with your help. 23% of children in Oklahoma do not have a working adult in the home. JA volunteers in the classroom often fill the need of a mentor and role model to give students hope for their future. A second missing component is relevancy. JA programs offer relevance through financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness programs.

Together we can make a difference.
