Follow on Google News | Hit the Green or Make Some Green to Support Financial Literacy Education for NJ YouthJunior Achievement of New Jersey (JANJ) has two end-of-summer initiatives to help support its at-risk financial literacy-based programs for this coming school-year; the JANJ Back-to-School Raffle Campaign and JANJ Annual Charity Golf Outing.
By: Amy Boroff Hit the Greens on September 14th for the Junior Achievement of New Jersey Charity Golf Outing at the amazing 100+ year old Morris County Golf Club, 36 Punch Bowl Road, Morristown, NJ. In the spirit of the challenging economic times, JANJ merged two of their long-standing golf tournaments and is pleased that this newly titled golf event will take place at the Morris County Golf Club. The JANJ Annual Charity Golf Outing includes a BBQ lunch overlooking Morris County’s lush, 18-hole golf course; a casual cocktail reception; a line-up of quality auction items to bid on; and the very challenging and exciting Putting Contest for a finale. Of course with the all-star line up of sponsors (Accenture, ATC, BNY Mellon Wealth Management, Crowe Horwath, Deloitte and Touche, LLP, Ernst & Young and HSBC Insurance) participants will enjoy a great day of golf while networking and relaxing. The foursome participation fee is $2,000 with the individual golfer fee just $475 per person. Want to make some green? JANJ is launching their first ever non event fundraiser. The JANJ Back-to-School Raffle Campaign is championed by both JANJ staff and Board Members alike. Beginning on August 6th, raffle tickets will be sold for $100 each and the winner of the raffle (announced on September 18th) will receive a $5,000 cash gift card. Raffle ticket sales are limited to 300 so that the odds are in participants’ Proceeds from both events will help sustain JA’s financial literacy-based programs that educate more than 31,000 of New Jersey’s youth each year, inspiring and motivating them to be career and workforce ready. JA’s activity-based, hands-on programs teach kids about credit, taxes, and managing checking and savings accounts, as well as entrepreneurship and the concept of jobs vs. careers. More information (including registration and raffle purchases, sponsorship and in-kind donations) and if your company or school is interested in partnering with JANJ, please visit www.janj.org or contact the event director, Amy Boroff. # # # About Junior Achievement Junior Achievement’ End
