Every big idea has to start somewhere!

At Pitch ‘N Punch, 5th–8th grade students take their ideas from concept to pitch, building confidence, practicing public speaking, learning from experienced mentors, and sharing their creativity with a live audience.

New invention? Business idea? Solution to a community problem? We can’t wait to see what these young entrepreneurs dream up!

And yes...there are cash prizes, too!

October 7 | 6–8 PM

And just like that, another EA summer is in the books!

80+ trainings later...we learned, explored, connected, and traveled all across Arkansas, and none of it would have been possible without our incredible partners, presenters, hosts, and supporters.

Thank you for helping make Summer 2026 one to remember!

A year of growth. A state of impact. Behind every number is an inspired educator, a classroom reached, and a student better prepared for the future.

From teachers in all 75 Arkansas counties to record-breaking student participation, this year showed just how far great economic and financial education can reach.

We’re proud of what we accomplished together, and even more excited about what comes next.
