There are exciting events approaching to inspire kids to achieve their dreams. We secured Jason Berken, Baltimore Orioles pitcher and West DePere native, to speak in January on what it takes to be mentally tough in sports, school and life in general. The Business Challenge, February 19th, is focused on challenging students to outperform their competition in terms of profit, sales and market share.
We are very excited about being a partner of the Cellcom Marathon. This partnership will support building community awareness in addition to help support Junior Achievement financially.
We've currently raised $126,000 and we're working to raise the remaining $114,000 needed to support 508 classrooms. If you or someone you know is interested in helping kids achieve their dreams -- either through volunteer time or donations -- please feel welcome to contact me.
Thank you for your continued involvement with Junior Achievement.
