Junior Achievement of Central Florida (JA) recently kicked off its annual Bowl-A-Thon fundraiser where local companies recruit teams, find sponsors and then come together at local bowling centers to bowl and raise money for JA. This year your company can support JA by participating in the 2012 Bowl-A-Thon. Teams consist of at least 10 bowlers – and there’s no limit on team size.
The event will take place throughout the first half of the year at bowling centers across Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Volusia and Lake counties. In 2011, nearly 10,000 bowlers in Central Florida raised enough money to help JA provide practical economic programs to 77,000 students in local schools.
“For the past 20 years, hundreds of local companies and thousands of volunteers have participated in JA’s Bowl-A-Thon,” said Craig Polejes, president of Junior Achievement of Central Florida. “It also serves as a fun team builder for companies. As one of our primary sources of funding along with corporate gifts, Bowl-A-Thon helps us raise the dollars necessary to deliver JA’s curriculum to Central Florida classrooms. The programs we provide focus on financial literacy, workforce readiness and entrepreneurship.”
