JA Bowl-A-Thon

AUSTINTOWN

Junior Achievement of Mahoning Valley kicks off its 2019 Bowl-A-Thon season Saturday at Wedgewood Lanes, 1741 S. Raccoon Road. Junior Achievement and jazz music are both celebrating 100 years, so this year’s theme is “All that Jazz.”

The JA Bowl-A-Thon is JA’s largest annual fundraiser. The event will feature 50-50 raffles, prize drawings, team photo opportunities and much more.

Event proceeds help Junior Achievement of Mahoning Valley to provide financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurial programs to almost 14,000 local students.

There is still opportunity to register teams for the next scheduled event from 6 to 9 p.m. May 7 at Camelot Lanes in Boardman.

The cost to participate is $50 per bowler and includes 3 games, shoes, and an event T-shirt. Participants can also raise money by selling $10 raffle tickets with donations from local businesses. The raffle drawing will be June 1.
