Junior Achievement of Central Florida (JA) recently completed its 28th annual Bowl-A-Thon fund-raiser. Nearly 10,000 employees from more than 80 companies were able to raise more than $765,000 to help JA provide practical economic programs to 77,000 students in local schools.

Employees from Disney VoluntEARS, Walgreens Co., and Adventist Health Systems were the top contributors to the event, which took place at bowling centers across Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Volusia counties from February through June.

Sponsors included Disney VoluntEARS, Banco Popular, Universal Orlando Resort, Tupperware, Massey Services Inc., and Attorneys’ Title Fund Services.

Bowl-A-Thon is an annual fund-raiser in which local companies recruit teams, find sponsors and then come together to bowl at local bowling centers to raise money for Junior Achievement.

If your company is interested in participating in next year’s Bowl-A-Thon, please contact Tara Trimp at (407) 898-2121, ext.35.
