Hello All-

For the past seven years, I have been involved with “bigBOWL”, a bowling fund-raising event to benefit Junior Achievement (JA) of the Upper Midwest, Inc.  I am again asking you to help with our fundraising effort, as our team is seeking to be the leading fundraiser for BMO’s Minnesota region yet again – last year our team, Spare Tires, raised over $4,000!

JA’s mission is to inspire students to value free enterprise and to understand how business and economics improve the quality of their lives.  Your contributions will directly impact more than 162,000 students in the Upper Midwest.  We have volunteered with this organization in the past and feel that it is a very beneficial organization to support! 

 
The easiest way to donate is to visit my website by clicking on the link below... any amount helps (and is also qualifies as tax deductible)!  From the following page, just click on the line “Donate Now” button at the following link:

Thank you in advance for any support that you can give, and on behalf of JA of the Upper Midwest, we sincerely thank you.  
  
Upon the conclusion of our fundraising efforts, we will be participating in the bowling event on April 4, 2017 at the Park Tavern in St Louis Park, involving all of the fundraising teams from BMO’s Minnesota Region.
