Service spotlight: Junior Achievement

Editor's note: Occasionally we'll spotlight an opportunity to get involved in the community above and beyond your Junior League of Jacksonville activity. This month Junior Leaguer Molly Roberts shares about how you can get involved with Junior Achievement. 

I am the Special Events Coordinator for Junior Achievement and I wanted to reach out to you because I organize our Bowl-A-Thons, which are a national JA phenomena. Typically we do these events by industry and I am organizing one for Young Professionals. These are fun events and a great way to get out and socialize with other Young Professional groups in the area. We have lowered the cost for this bowl-a-thon to $50 per bowler. We are also taking the fundraising average + bowling average of each team and the team with the highest number will receive 40% of the proceeds back to their organization!

The money raised from our events go toward helping purchase new materials for the volunteers to use in the classroom when teaching. I have attached a flyer for the event and also a sheet that describes Junior Achievement.

 

Young Professionals Bowl-A-Thon:
  
* Saturday, May 18th  11:30-1:30

* Minimum $50 per bowler. (Six person teams)
* We will be taking each teams bowling average + fundraising average
  and the team with the highest number will receive 40% of the
  proceeds back to their organization!
