Junior Achievement of Mad River Region to host a 60th Birthday Bowl-a-thon on Saturday March 3
— Help us celebrate our 60th year of providing Junior Achievement programs to students in Clark County at this year’s Junior Achievement Bowl-a-thon. Come dressed in your favorite birthday or 1960’s apparel. Win prizes for most spirited team, most creative outfit, and your trivia knowledge in addition to prizes based on pledges collected. Teams must register by Friday February 23.
JA programs teach young people about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy. For example, third grade students learn how to plan a city as part of Junior Achievement’s Our City™ program, and high school students learn that a positive financial future requires management strategies, including career exploration, budgeting, savings, wise use of credit, savvy shopping, consumer protection, and investment strategies in JA Personal Finance.
Even if you don’t score a turkey, you will be making a strike for local students’ education. So call Junior Achievement of Mad River Region 937-323-4725 ext 12 or email Crystal, csteiner@jrachieve.net for more details on how to get involved!
