Welcome to my fundraising page for Junior Achievement of New York! All donations are 100% tax deductible and go directly to supporting JA programs that give kids K-12 the chance to dive deep into the real world through hands-on experiences. JA teaches students the fundamentals of adult decision-making, business ownership, money management, and so much more! 

Thanks to supporters like YOU, JA can inspire and empower over 90,000 students each year to take on the real world with confidence and ambition to change the world.

Dear Family and Friends,

Most of you know me for my work and dedication to Explore Charter School, as the PTO President.  Today, I am writing to share another passion of mine, Junior Achievement.  JA works to educate students about the importance of financial literacy, entrepreneurship and workforce readiness.  Their ‘JA Program for a Classroom’ will make a connection between what they learn in school and how to apply it in the real world - enhancing the relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.  

On Thursday, November 15, 2018, I will be bowling to raise money for 60 students to join the program, by reaching my goal of $3,000.00.  When I thought about “who else would see the importance and value in this program”, I thought of you!

Donations of any size can make a tremendous difference, $10, $25 or more, so please visit my page and make a donation: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/account/691165.   If you’re not in a position to donate at this time, that’s okay!  Please think about sharing my link on facebook, twitter and email, to spread the word and help me reach my goal!

TOGETHER we can teach 60 students!
