NAPERVILLE, Illinois – June 3, 2026 –DuPage Credit Union’s Associate Director of Branches and Community Engagement, George Caraballo, was recently elected “mayor” at the DuPage Division of Junior Achievement’s (JA) Night on the Town fundraiser at the Drake Hotel in       Oak Brook.

Caraballo, a member of the local JA Board of Directors and 30-year volunteer with the organization, competed against other community volunteers to earn “Mayor of JA Town” for the night. Supporters donated $5 to Junior Achievement to vote for their candidate. The Junior Achievement Night on the Town event raised $18,200 to benefit over 1,100 students in DuPage County, smashing the goal of $8,000 to become the most successful event on record.

DuPage Credit Union looks forward to continuing its partnership with Junior Achievement and hosting future events to help students build strong financial skills and confidence in money management. Since its inception, the Credit Union’s strong ties to the community have fostered collaborative partnerships with local school districts, businesses, and charities.  

“George sees potential in young people and understands the impact mentorship and financial education can have on their lives,” said Kenya Shettlesworth, DuPage Credit Union Collections Manager and Junior Achievement volunteer.

“In the end, the winners were the students who will benefit from additional JA programs and financial literacy,” said Caraballo.
