They say that children are the future. What better way to make a meaningful difference than inspiring and preparing young people for success? That’s what Junior Achievement of Arkansas does. To help support those efforts, USAble Life was a sponsor of the 2023 Legacy Award Luncheon on May 25, and several members of our Employee Resource Groups attended.
The Legacy Award Luncheon is the largest fundraiser for Junior Achievement, investing in 8,400 students in Central Arkansas. The Legacy Award was established in 2008 to honor the visionary leaders who founded Junior Achievement of Arkansas. The award is given to those who have displayed exceptional leadership in supporting academic excellence in Arkansas.
Junior Achievement has over 100 local areas across the nation, and together they are the nation’s largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills needed to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic choices.
USAble Life has a long-standing involvement with Junior Achievement of Arkansas. In 2018, we received the Nelson Summit Award as Volunteer Business of the Year. Many of our executives and board members participated in Junior Achievement in their youth.
