It's time to put on your bowling shoes and join us at City Lanes bowling alley on February 16, 2013 to have a great time while raising funds to continue the programs of Junior Achievement serving La Porte County.
You don't need to be a good bowler; just an enthusiastic one. How does a Bowl-a-Thon work? You get together your friends, co-workers or family members to form a team. Each of you then collects pledges from your other friends, co-workers and family members. Then you join us for a fun-filled, exciting day of bowling and prize giveaways. This year's Grand prize of a One Night Stay at the Blue Chip Hotel and Dinner for Two at Vegas Baby! will be awarded to one lucky person. We ask each bowler to collect $60 in pledges; however, the more money you raise the more entries you receive toward the Grand Prize. Awards will be given to the Top Fundraising Individual and the Top Fundraising Team. All teams reaching their pledge goal of $300 will receive a free appetizer at the event.
Even if you do not bowl a strike, you will be making a strike for local students’ education. Ric Federighi and WIMS Radio will be at the event with a live broadcast from 1-3 pm and proceeds will benefit Junior Achievement. So call your local Junior Achievement office at 219-873-3002 for more details on how to sign up!
