Celebration of Achievement presented by CPA Education foundation is more than the conclusion of the JA Company Program, it is a graduation ceremony that celebrates the transformation students experience throughout their entrepreneurial journey. 

Held on June 18, 2026 at the Château Louis Hotel and proudly sponsored by the CPA Education Foundation, the evening brought together 200 students, families, friends, mentors, and community partners to recognize the accomplishments of the next generation of entrepreneurs. 

The celebration highlighted the dedication and growth students demonstrated throughout the year, from their first ideas and early challenges to the final products and businesses they proudly presented. Students were recognized through scholarships and awards, celebrating their achievements while acknowledging the support systems that helped them succeed. 

A defining moment of the evening was recognizing Bijoue as the 2026 Company of the Year, celebrating their innovation, commitment, and excellence throughout the program. 

As students crossed this milestone, the evening served as a powerful reminder of the impact of mentorship, community investment, and experiential learning. Celebration of Achievement honored not only the companies students created, but the confidence, leadership, and ambition they developed along the way. 

Through the support of JA’s partners and volunteers, students leave the program knowing they have the skills, courage, and creativity to build something that matters.
