Achievement's new Inspiration Center.
Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada invites the community to an evening of flavor and philanthropy atJA Bottles for BizTown, a beer and wine tasting held in support of local youth. The event will take place on Thursday, June 26, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the new 40,000-square-foot Junior Achievement Inspiration Center, located at 4440 E. Tropicana Ave.
Guests will enjoy a relaxed, adults-only experience featuring six cast wines and four craft beer tastings paired with gourmet appetizers. The evening also offers an opportunity to tour Junior Achievement’s unique learning spaces, featuring the nonprofit organization’s signature programs, Betty's JA BizTown and JA Finance Park. The two city-like areas – designed with stores, businesses, utilities, City Hall, a park, games and more – create innovative environments where students learn about and explore real-world financial literacy lessons covering budgeting, operating and managing a city and businesses, and also career readiness and entrepreneurship.
Proceeds from JA Bottles for BizTown will directly benefit thousands of students reached annually through Junior Achievement’s hands-on educational programs. These initiatives equip young people with the tools they need to stay in school, manage money wisely, and pursue meaningful careers. They bridge the gap between what students learn in school compared to real world, so K-12 students and young adults learn about the “business of life”.
“JA Bottles for BizTown is a celebration of community, purpose, and the transformative power of education,” said Michelle Jackson, present and CEO of Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada. “We look forward to people joining us in raising a glass to brighter futures for community kids, seeing our beautiful new Inspiration Center, and enjoying delicious wine, beer and food. Every ticket sold helps us empower students to dream big and achieve their goals.”
