JA Bowlers Saved the Day at the 2011 Superhero Bowl
Many thanks to the company coordinators, team
captains, bowlers, and donors for helping Junior Achievement raise
$44,000 during the Fall Bowl-A-Thon. Your support of Junior
Achievement provides a visible and meaningful demonstration of your
organization's commitment to youth in our community. You are
helping students develop the competence, confidence and character
needed to compete in today's global economy.
The passion for the JA mission and energetic fund
raising efforts were superb! Teams enthusiastically embraced this
year's theme, Superhero Bowl. Participants fashioned terrific
costumes and demonstrated their creativity by designing superhero pins. To review
team photos from the event, select the company name below.

The JA-in-a-Day program places volunteers in the
classroom to teach the entire JA curriculum in an exciting one-day
event. When companies involve groups of volunteers all going to the
same school, they can bring their experience to hundreds of
students in one location. This event provides a great team-building
experience and a chance for volunteers to give back to their
community.
JA would like to thank the follow companies and
schools who have partnered to implement the JA-in-a-Day program in
recent weeks:
