Well folks, it's that time of year again for our Junior Achievement Bowl-A-Thon fundraising event. I am not "officially" participating this time around, but only because I am coordinator the this year's event! For those of you not familiar with Junior Achievement, they are an awesome organization that is working hard to educate Chicago area students on financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship. Business and community volunteers deliver JA lessons that give kids the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. As an experienced classroom volunteer, I can say these initiatives really make a difference in these kids lives as this is the first time they are learning about taxes and why we have them, different types of resources, and that credit cards are indeed NOT just free money.

I would really appreciate it if you would sponsor me through my online fundraising page. Every dollar counts and even a donation of as little as $12.50 will sponsor one JA student. It’s really easy to give online, and you get a receipt for your donation emailed directly to you. 

Thanks so much for your help!
