JA Bowl-A-Thon
03/12/2011 - By Buffalo, NY

JA Bowl-A-Thon

Nearly 1,600 bowlers came out to support the 27th Annual JA Bowl-A-Thon presented by Bank of America.

During our main event held on March 12, 2011, bowlers spread out between AMF Airport Lanes, AMF Thruway Lanes, Transit Lanes and Tonawanda Bowling Center.

Not only did our bowlers come prepared with pledges they so diligently raised months leading up to the event, but Verizon CWA Local 1122 bowler, Bob Hyland, even scored a perfect 300 during the 3 p.m. shift at AMF Thruway Lanes! The following week, over 200 HSBC associates headed to AMF Lancaster Lanes for the annual HSBC Bowl-A-Thon held on March 19, 2011 complete with their Paint-a-Pin contest, all to help raise much needed funds for JA's financial literacy programs. The Bowl-A-Thon is Junior Achievement's largest annual fundraiser.

Thanks to the efforts of everyone who participated, we are pleased to announce that initial estimates show that over $150,000 was raised at this year's event! That's an 11 percent increase over last year's total. This year’s company coordinators and volunteers will be attending our May 19th Recognition Event where we will award all of the fabulous prizes including a 32" LCD TV, $250 Dunn Tire gift card and iPod Touch, to name a few. We also look forward to recognizing the many companies and their coordinators that worked so hard to increase their support this year!
