Junior Achievement (JA) empowers students to make a connection between what they learn in school and the "real world." Our programs enhance the relevance of classroom learning, help students understand the value of staying in school, and provide them with the skills they need to be successful adults.

I'm supporting JA's important work by participating in JA bigBowl. Please support my efforts with a tax-deductible donation.  Because of your generosity, Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest will be able to provide real world skills and experiences to more than 163,500 local students this school year.

I never thought I'd be working as a beverage consultant, but I couldn't be happier that it's the path I'm now on! Being able to share some of my journey so far has been rewarding (and hopefully impactful on the students) and your support is greatly appreciated.
