On June 26, Connecticut’s most spirited corporate teams brought their game faces to the 2025 JA Office Warriors event for an unforgettable evening of friendly competition and impact-driven fun.
11 teams faced off in a series of six thrilling, office-themed activities, including Water Cooler Bowling, K-Cup Towers, Computer Paper Box Skiing, and several other fast-paced challenges that tested their skills and pushed teamwork to the limit. As competitors earned points for their team, they also strengthened their own bonds and brought support to Junior Achievement of Southwest New England’s programming.

While all teams stepped up to the challenges, a few in particular stood above the rest as the event’s “top dogs." This year’s star-studded podium of champions included:
- Gold Medalists: BL Companies
- Silver Medalists: Whittlesey
- Bronze Medalists: Stanley Black & Decker
- Team Spirit Award: Nutmeg State Financial Credit Union
We’re incredibly grateful to the sponsors who helped make this event a success in the new location, including our Gold Medal Sponsor, Stanley Black & Decker, our Silver Medal Sponsor, Nutmeg State Financial Credit Union, and our Bronze Medal Sponsor, Voya Financial. A special thanks goes to our Activity Sponsors, BL Companies and Downes Construction Company, for sponsoring the K-Cup Towers and Water Cooler Bowling challenges, respectively!
Finally, thank you to all 11 participating teams for bringing energy, teamwork, and passion to this year’s event! While the competition was unforgettable, the evening’s biggest win was the opportunity to empower thousands of students across our state to become champions in their own work and careers!
Want to join in on the fun? We’re already looking ahead to an even more exciting JA Office Warriors in 2026, and we’d love to have your company in the running!
