Each year business people around Memphis and the Mid-South give Junior Achievement a hand in raising funds for JA programs and activities by taking part in the annual "Bowlin' On The River" Bowl-A-Thon. The Bowl-A-Thon is not only the primary source of funding but also a major source of entertainment for thousands of participants. This year we expect more than 100 companies and 6,000 bowlers to participate.

Proceeds from the Bowl-A-Thon help fund JA programs, activities, and in-school classes in the Mid-South. You'll be glad to know, every time you roll a ball down the lane, you're rolling in funds to help train tomorrow's business leaders.

Thanks to JA, students from kindergarten to high school get the opportunity to learn "how business works." With the assistance of local business volunteers, thousands of students learn first hand how to relate economic concepts and business principles to real-life situations.

Students learn valuable lessons in how leadership, education, and teamwork play major roles in the success of business endeavors. Our goal is to offer JA programs to every class, in every school in the Mid-South. To do this, we need your help.
