Helping to empower children with the necessary tools to succeed in life.

Join us for Partners in Learning, a meaningful midday event supporting local students and empowering the next generation of leaders, dreamers, and doers.

This fundraiser helps cover the cost of bringing the Junior Achievement program and the valuable JA BizTown experience to our local schools.

🔍 What is JA BizTown?
Located in Auburn, WA, JA BizTown is a hands-on, simulated town where students in grades 4–6 learn how the free enterprise system works. This unique program blends classroom learning with a real-world experience: students take on roles such as bank tellers, business owners, chefs, and even mayor for a day. They manage budgets, write checks, vote, and learn the value of teamwork, leadership, and financial literacy—all in one incredible day.

💼 How You Can Help
We’re inviting local businesses to purchase a table for $400. In a business expo-style event, businesses set up their booth while the employees are getting pumped for the new school year in the stadium of Peninsula High School. Businesses who choose to showcase will be in the PHS gymnasium during the staff luncheon, where they will visit you and have their passport signed

Your contribution ensures more students can benefit from this life-changing educational experience. Plus, it’s a great way to show your company’s commitment to our youth and community in front of 1,000+ district staff members at their annual pep rally. 

Raffles:
Bring a raffle basket to show off your business!
District staff will be entered to win the raffle items after filling out their vendor passport cards they will receive from each vendor table. These are your neighbors and fellow community members who may be interested in your business offering. Please consider participating as a table sponsor. Click the link to register for a table!

✅ All proceeds go directly to supporting Junior Achievement and student trips to BizTown.

Be a Partner in Learning. Invest in their future—and inspire success beyond the classroom.

Money raised through the sale of booths is donated back to the Peninsula School District to help the School District to offset the costs of the Junior Achievement program and taking students to BizTown in Auburn.
