63 years ago, Junior Achievement opened in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tens of thousands of students each year are given life-changing learning experiences thanks to generous donors and volunteers.
33 years ago, JA of Utah began working with local companies to fundraise - ensuring that our programs are still available at no cost to schools and students - through a peer-to-peer fundraiser called "JA Bowl-a-thon." This event is crucial to our success, and, more importantly, to the success of local students all over Utah.
