This is how we roll!

The 2026 Accountants Classic Bowlathon on Friday, August 7, was a huge success. Accounting professionals from several area firms raised $20,882.85 to support our work for the 2026-27 school year.

It was the 15th year of the peer-to-peer fundraising event with $15,000 raised from individual giving, thanks to participants who met or exceeded their fundraising goals. Their successful effort this year raised the most overall funds of any event since the end of the COVID era.

We are also grateful to the companies who contributed to our fundraising success by sponsoring the event:

A summer job is more than a paycheck, it’s often a young person’s first step toward independence, confidence, and career readiness.

Through hands-on experiences, students learn how to communicate, problem-solve, manage responsibility, and navigate the workplace, skills that last far beyond the summer season.

At Junior Achievement, we’re helping prepare students for those opportunities and the future ahead.

When education and industry come together, students benefit most.

JA’s partnerships help bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application, preparing young people to succeed in a changing economy.

Graduation marks the end of one chapter, and the beginning of a future filled with opportunity.

Junior Achievement helps ensure students cross that stage with the confidence and skills to turn their ambitions into action.

The connection between education and economic opportunity is evolving. Today, preparing students for what’s next takes more than academic achievement alone.

Early access to financial literacy, career-connected learning, and entrepreneurial experiences helps students build the confidence and real-world skills needed to navigate their futures and thrive in a changing workforce.

Our latest blog explores how these experiences help bridge the gap between classroom learning and long-term economic success.
