2025 JA Investor Showdown
A Fun, Fast-Paced Challenge That Helps Our Students Reach New Heights
When: Tuesday, September 23, 2025
Where: Starlight Event Center
Compete. Connect. Invest in the Future.
Join us for the 2025 JA Investor Showdown, an electrifying, adults-only stock market simulation designed for professionals, community leaders, and change-makers ready to test their trading savvy in support of local youth.
Inspired by Junior Achievement’s Stock Market Challenge for high school students, this event delivers the same energy and excitement—plus great food, drinks, and networking, all for a powerful purpose. Teams of participants will race through 60 simulated days of stock trading in just 60 minutes, reacting to breaking news, making strategic decisions, and competing for top honors (and bragging rights).
Your participation makes a difference.
Proceeds from the JA Investor Showdown help fund:
* JA Stock Market Challenge student programs across the our region
* Travel costs for the student teams that earn a spot at the JA National Stock Market Challenge Competition
By stepping into the trading arena, you’re directly investing in the next generation of financially literate, career-ready leaders.
