Because of partners like Old National Bank Foundation, more than 500 students will gain the knowledge and confidence to navigate their financial futures.

Through support of JA Finance Park Advanced, JA Finance Park, and additional programs such as JA Personal Success, JA Personal Finance, JA It's My Job, and JA Inspire, students will explore careers, strengthen financial literacy skills, and prepare for life beyond the classroom.

Together, we're helping young people become confident, capable, and connected—ready for what's next.

Thank you, Old National Bank Foundation, for making this impact possible. 💙

Loved being part of the BAPS Charities Walk | Run 2026 in Louisville! 👟💙
This 5K Walk-a-Thon brought our community together to give back, and it was especially meaningful to see both a JA BizTown teacher and an alumnus participating, with funds benefiting JA BizTown!

Events like this show how powerful third-party fundraisers can be in supporting programs that impact students and our community.

More than just a walk; it’s service in action, one step at a time.
