A Night of Competition That Invests in Our Students
Compete. Connect. Invest in the Future.
Join us for the 2026 JA Investor Showdown, a high-energy stock market simulation bringing together professionals, community leaders, and local businesses for an evening of friendly competition—all in support of our students.
Inspired by the JA Stock Market Challenge experience for students, teams will race through 60 simulated days of trading in just 60 minutes. As breaking news hits the market, teams will buy, sell, strategize, and compete to see who can build the strongest portfolio and earn ultimate bragging rights.
Along the way, enjoy great food, drinks, networking, and plenty of competition—all for a great cause.
Your participation directly supports students.
Proceeds from the JA Investor Showdown help fund the JA Stock Market Challenge for students throughout our region and support travel expenses for student teams that earn the opportunity to represent our community at the JA National Stock Market Challenge Competition.
So, gather your team, bring your best strategy, and get ready to trade!
You’re not just investing in the market... you’re investing in the next generation.
