Inspiring Tomorrows Relief Fund
Tomorrows are more important than ever! In response to COVID-19 we've had to transform our traditional, in-classroom program delivery to 100% online, virtually-taught programs.
Donations of $25 will help to bring JA programs to one student
$50 will support two students
$100 will help sponsor four students
Our #GivingTuesdayNow goal of $10,000 in donations = approximately 400 students could benefit from our programs
JA Trivia Night
We are rolling the Bowl-A-Thon (canceled due to COVID-19) into a Virtual Trivia Night!! Just like a Bowl-A-Thon, participants will create teams and fundraise through their personal fundraising site towards a team goal. All you need is a team of 5/6 colleagues, a computer, WiFi, your favorite snacks & beverages, and thinking caps!
JA Career Speaker Series
While schools are closed, Junior Achievement is providing free online resources to teachers, parents and students. JA's Career Speaker Series provides students with a broadened career spectrum while at the same time giving guidance, reassurance, and perspective during the COVD-19 time.
