Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page! I have committed to raising money for Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest.I will be participating in the Junior Achievement BIGBowl on April 26, 2012 with M&I Bank, a part of BMO Financial Group - this will be my 5th year participating and it is a fun event that raises money for a great cause. Our team's goal is to raise over $1,500 so any support you can give is much appreciated and all donations are tax deductible.

JA offers innovative financial literacy, college and career readiness, and entrepreneurship education to more than 130,000 students in grades K-12. JA programs empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world — enhancing the relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.

To help JA continue to improve the lives of local students, I am participating in the JA bigBowl, a fun and competitive fundraiser for Junior Achievement. Will you consider making a tax-deductible donation to support my efforts? Your donation is an investment in an organization that is committed to ensuring that young people stay in school to gain the skills necessary to be successful after graduation.

It’s easy to make a donation through my secure, online fundraising page by clicking the "Donate" button in the upper right corner. A gift of any amount is appreciated and will help inspire tomorrow's leaders to make successful choices today.

Thanks for your support!
