Calling All Heroes!
 

We extend our appreciation to the many volunteers who helped make this year's bowling classic memorable.  You truly are the BEST!!!  

  

 
Dear JA Heroes:
 
Thanks to YOU, there's something really BIG worth celebrating in Benton, Franklin and Walla Walla counties!  100,000 local kids have been inspired to dream big, reach for the stars, and address new challenges and opportunities over the past twenty-two years through JA!  Now, that's what we're talking about!
 
Through the years JA programs have remained relevant and timely.  They are continually updated to be at the forefront of tomorrow's needs for individuals who can meet the demands of the job market, including high-growth, high-demand jobs.  JA's new STEM-based 5th grade curriculum, Our Nation, is one such program.  And special thanks to Mission Support Alliance, LLC for stepping up with a $30,000 donation to ensure the dramatic growth of this program, reaching more students each year! 
 
100,000 kids.  We like the sound of that, and hope you do, too.  We believe as a community, we can start inspiring tomorrow's leaders to make successful choices today.  Thank you for joining us in making it happen for the next 100,000 kids.
