JA Team Achieve...Running to Change Lives

Why I support Junior Achievement

I have committed to join JA Team Achieve benefitting Junior Achievement because I know JA changes students' lives. I am asking for your support so together we can empower young people to own their economic success! 

As a Board Member of the Junior Achievement Wisconsin chapter, I know that the dollars that we donate are used wisely, efficiently and effectively.  My firm, Deloitte, spends time in schools teaching every year and for me to see the faces of the kids as they learn is so fantastic.  Whether it be in budgeting, or general financial knowledge, our future, our kids grow in financial literacy.  A very important skill in life. 

An amazing 8,400 community volunteers, provide sound economic and business JA programs to more than 160,000 Wisconsin students annually!  Your gift is essential to making JA possible.

JA Team Achieve pairs my fitness goals with my passion for Junior Achievement. Funds I raise allow Junior Achievement to help students own their financial futures. I am supporting JA and having an amazing time training to run the Lake Placid Half Marathon 13.1 miles on June 11, 2017.

As a JA Team Achieve team member, I have a coach, a training program and teammates to support me. I have committed to a team training schedule with team workouts on the weekends, and I’ve promised to raise $4,000 in donations for Junior Achievement.

My goal is to raise $500 per mile of the 13.1 mile half marathon or approximately $6,500.   I have started by personally pledging my time and training but also $100 per mile. 

I thank you in advance for your generous contribution.   If you have any questions, please let me know, I would be happy to discuss JA and provide more about this great organization.
