WHAT IS THE BOWL-A-THON?
The Bowl-A-Thon is Junior Achievement’s largest people
dependent annual fundraiser. The Bowl-A-Thon consists of employees from
local companies and their family and friends forming a team of 5 bowlers
to raise funds to benefit Junior Achievement programs. Each team of 5 is
asked to raise a minimum of $500 in pledges or a minimum of $100 per
bowler. Each team will enjoy FREE food and drink at the bowling event in
June, as well as the opportunity to win great door prizes. Individual
bowling prizes are awarded to each bowler based on the amount of funds
raised.

WHY BOWL FOR JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT?
This
year more than 900 volunteers from various area companies will donate
their time to teach Junior Achievement programs to more than 24,000 students
in grades K through 12. With the help of our fundraisers, Junior
Achievement
provides the program materials to the volunteers at no charge to use at
participating JA schools. The results...students are exposed to dynamic
role models who reinforce the importance of education and staying in school
while
laying a foundation for success. The more funds raised, the more programs
we
can provide and the more students we reach!
WHAT IS MY COMPANY’S OBLIGATION/GOAL?
Each participating company is asked to select a Company
Coordinator to be the main contact between JA and your company. The
Company Coordinator selects and motivates Team Captains, who recruit
4 team members to create a team of 5 bowlers. The Team Captains work with
their team to raise the $500 minimum team pledge. Pledges are flat rate
contributions made by the bowler’s family, friends, co-workers, associates,
neighbors, etc. Once your company has formed its teams, they will
participate in the Bowl-A-Thon - on a date arranged by the Team Captain and
JA.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO MY COMPANY?
The Bowl-A-Thon is a lot of fun and a great way for your company to have a social event while benefiting
Junior Achievement. The event is also
a
team building opportunity, it allows company leaders to interact with
employees and their families in a fun environment and it promotes awareness
in the community that your company
actively supports the education of our future workforce.
THE EVENTS
Not
only do your bowlers get to enjoy the FREE food, drink, prizes, music and
fun at the Bowl-A-Thon in June,
but they also get to enjoy 2 additional
events associated with the Bowl-A-Thon. A Kick-Off Party is held in
March
to start the bowling season. It’s a fun, informal event where your
bowlers can meet and mingle with other
participating companies, enjoy FREE
food, drink and prizes as well as learn more about the Bowl-A-Thon from JA
staff. An Awards Party is held after the bowling season to
recognize and award bowlers for their accomplishments in raising pledges.
All bowlers raising their $100 minimum are invited to the event.
