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.
The 2008 JA Bowl-A-Thon is proudly
