Junior Achievement: Empowering young people to own their economic success®

I've worked for Junior Achievement for more than 20 years and have participated in the Bowl-a-thon for JA of Southern Colorado for nearly three-quarters of that time. I have also volunteered in the classroom, mainly with the kindergartners... they're fun and have so much energy! 

I think that every bit of your time, talent and... money counts. I hope you'll consider donating to this great organization.

Thank you!!!   ~ Wendy King
