“Last year’s event was a sell-out, and we are thrilled that Fogo de Chao once again will host this fabulous dinner that will allow hundreds of youth in Baltimore to receive financial literacy education,” said Kim Denis, vice president, operations & special events for Junior Achievement of Central Maryland. “We hope JA supporters will take advantage of this opportunity to plan the perfect date, family night out or business dinner for up to 12.”
