Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana is near and dear to my heart. I have been lucky enough to be on the staff for 4 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 as well as at our capstone facilities and teaching the students the basics about financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship.

In order to provide the schools in Allen County our JA programs without cost, we host fundraisers throughout the year. One of our biggest fundraisers is the JA Achieve-A-Bowl. For the first time, this year, 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 $125 and I would love if you could help.
