The Trust Your Crazy Ideas Challenge is made possible thanks to the generous support from our partners.
The Brees Dream Foundation was founded in 2003 and is a reliable source of charitable funding globally. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for cancer patients and provide care, education and opportunities for children and families in need. Since our inception 13 years ago, we have contributed over $25,000,000 to charitable causes globally. We would not be where we are today without the endless support from our many partnerships and from those who donate to our cause daily. For that, we would like to personally thank all you who have donated your time, money, and effort into making the Brees Dream Foundation what it is today!

At Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans (JA), we believe that we have a responsibility to transform the preparedness of our youth from a mission into a movement. We believe that together we can inspire an entire generation to be financially capable and tenacious, equipped with 21st century skills to think outside the box, manage risk effectively, and welcome opportunity in a complex, modern economy. Through our standards-based experiential financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship programs taught by a volunteer role model from the community, we are preparing our region’s future leaders.
Celebrating more than 60 years in the metro New Orleans area, Junior Achievement empowers young people to own their future economic success by enhancing the relevancy of education. JA ignites the spark in young people to experience and realize the opportunities and realities of work in a global marketplace. More than 1,300 business volunteers and more than 30,000 southeast Louisiana-area elementary, middle and high school students are annually involved in JA programs in more than 100 public, private, and parochial schools throughout twelve parishes.
Junior Achievement is more than small business and lemonade stands. Together with our business, community, and education partners, we are working to ensure that this generation is better prepared for success than any other generation in history. In short, Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans inspires the next generation to navigate their path to their own American Dream.
