The annual JA of Lincoln Stock Market Challenge is one of our favorite events of the year. The energy of hundreds of high schoolers together in one room competing and strategizing to make the most of their investments is truly exciting! Check out this quick video for a look at why this event is so popular: https://youtu.be/XZPftSS9Ljc

Since it’s unlikely that we’ll be able to gather safely by our originally scheduled date in November, we made the decision to postpone until the spring. The JA of Lincoln Stock Market Challenge is now scheduled for Tuesday, April 20, 2021 at Innovation Campus.

Even though the event has been pushed back, we’re hoping you’ll still get involved now! This event makes it possible for 600 Nebraska students to get first-hand experience in the stock market, and we need generous sponsors who are excited about financial literacy to help make that happen. There are opportunities ranging from $300 team sponsorships, which make it possible for a group of students to participate, to $5,000 technology sponsorships, which earn your company major recognition to the hundreds of participants. See below for a full description of sponsorship opportunities.

We also want to thank the sponsors that have already jumped on board for this unique and impactful event! These generous organizations are part of providing local students with an experience they’ll carry with them long into the future.

Presenting Sponsor: CFA Society Nebraska
Portfolio Sponsor: Brandon Smith Consulting Group of Raymond James
Opening Bell Sponsor: KPMG
Education Sponsor: Creighton University's Heider College of Business
Gold Sponsor: Molex
Student Team Sponsors: Black Hills Energy, Legacy Retirement Communities, Nelnet, Union Bank & Trust

Thank you for your support in making this year’s event the best one yet!
