JA World Uncorked Raises Over $382,000 for Educational Programs

Seared scallops, grilled lamb chops and delicious burgers were just a few of the culinary dishes from quality chefs and restaurants that wowed the tastebuds of over 900 passionate food lovers at JA World Uncorked on Saturday, January 19th. Guests also enjoyed tastings of wine, spirits, champagne, bourbons and beers throughout the evening and danced to the music of Hyrbrid, sponsored by Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

The 9th annual JA World Uncorked, JA Circle of Wise Women’s Signature Event, presented by Breakthru Beverage Florida, was the most successful to date. Over $382,000 was raised at this sold out event to support JA programs that foster work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy.
