School's almost out for the summer and that means another year of Junior Achievement programming is coming to a close. On Thursday, June 6, 2024, join us at Game On in the Fenway area for a night of networking, fun and games as we reflect upon the accomplishments of the year. Let's celebrate the start of summer with cocktails, appetizers and all the Ping Pong, Cornhole, and Giant Jinga you can handle.
