⛳ We’re counting down the days until our 6th Annual Junior Achievement in SW MO Golf Tournament, and we’re excited to introduce a NEW way for our community to be part of the day!

For the first time, we are offering Family Tee Signs for just $150!

Our traditional business tee signs include a company logo and are available for $250, but we wanted to create an affordable opportunity for families and individuals to show their support for Junior Achievement. We will be dedicating one or two tee holes specifically for family signs to celebrate the amazing community behind our mission.

Want to recognize your family, celebrate a milestone, honor someone special, or simply support local students? This is a fun way to be part of our tournament!

⏰ Time is limited! We are finalizing tee signs soon, so please reach out as soon as possible if you’d like to reserve a family sign.

We are also still accepting last-minute sponsors and in-kind donations for our raffle and silent auction. Plus, we still have a handful of foursome spots available, and we would love for you to join us on the course!

Whether you’re looking to play, sponsor, donate, or purchase a family tee sign, there are still ways to be part of this year’s tournament and support Junior Achievement. ⛳

Longtime volunteer and JA in SW MO advisory board member, Crystle Stranghoener, shared just how important Junior Achievement programs are to her and the students she works with 🥰:

“JA is so impactful!

I thought I'd share some quotes from the thank you notes students have written to me this year:

I am very thankful that you are teaching us about sales, time management and salaries.

I'm really going to use your advice when I'm older.

Where do you work so I can get advice from you when I need it?

Thank you for all the advice and confidence.

Thank you for teaching us how to be smart about prices.

I am thankful because you taught us how not to get fired.

You taught us about job types like social worker and I didn't know that was a job.

Thank you for teaching us how to be successful when we become adults.”
