Believe it or not, the Junior Achievement of WNY Bowl-a-Thon has been rolling strong for 40 years! And last year hit a major milestone: raising over $200,000 for the first time in event history.

As many of you know, I bring Junior Achievement programs into classrooms across all of WNY, elementary through high school.  These programs teach students essential life skills — from understanding needs vs. wants and how communities work, to exploring careers, budgeting, credit, investing, and even entrepreneurship. These are real-world lessons, delivered in a hands-on way, with proven results.

To honor Bowl-a-thon's 40th anniversary, my personal fundraising goal is $500!

Every dollar helps give local students the tools they need to succeed in school, work, and life. Thank you in advance for any support you can provide!
