Junior Achievement Hall of Fame 2020 postponed until further notice

In light of President Trump’s address to the nation this evening, and protocol and advice from the CDC and health officials, we regret to inform you that Junior Achievement Hall of Fame 2020, due to take place on Thursday, 12th March 2020, is postponed until further notice.

We fully appreciate your support of Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay, and do not take the decision to postpone the event lightly. However, due to the current Coronavirus/COVID-19 situation we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the event for the safety of our attendees.

Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay prioritizes the health, safety and wellbeing of all of our staff, volunteers, partners, stakeholders and friends. CDC and World Health Organization recommendations are to enact protocol of avoiding mass gatherings and public events. Therefore, we want to ensure that precautionary measures are taken to prevent any additional spread of COVID-19, and we do not wish to pose any unnecessary risk to your wellbeing.

Our Hall of Fame means a lot to us as an organization, therefore, we will be working diligently with our event organizers to reschedule the celebratory occasion for a later date. This will be communicated to you as we understand more information regarding health and safety measures for the current situation.
