Welcome back TeBowlers   to the 38th edition of JA's Rock 'N Bowl, this time reimagined to JA TRIVIA BOWL!  Because we cannot currently gather in person, JA is doing a VIRTUAL Trivia BOWL.  

Junior Achievement is the world’s largest and fastest-growing non-profit economic education organization. Junior Achievement educates and inspires young people to value free enterprise and understand business and economics to improve the quality of their lives.Each year, over 900 volunteers enable JA of Southern Colorado to reach more than 16,000 students in the classroom. Volunteers use their personal and professional experiences to make the Junior Achievement programs relevant and realistic. Please join us in our cause – Let their success be your inspiration! 

Soon we will begin working on a new, for us, program, Mobile JA Finance Park, targeted to the 8th-9th grades.  The program involves classroom preparation on budgeting, bank accounts, purchasing, insurance, and other every day financial activities.  It culminates in a day long activity in our mobile city where the students are assigned family and income scenarios and visit business store fronts to make decisions on how to manage their financial lives.  This program has been used very successfully by many other JA areas and the mobility will allow us to reach many towns around our Southern Colorado territory.

This event is one of our most important fundraisers of the year with an overall goal of $100,000 toward a nearly $1million budget. Our team goal is $7,500 which hopefully will retain the top individual trophy for the 10th year. (Last year we did $7,468) Competition will be intense, so roll as many strikes and spares as you can.

Joining the team is easy, just click on the green "Donate Now" button and make a secure credit card transaction. Or, if you prefer, you can send a check directly to: JA of Southern Colorado-Attn RNB, 611 N. Weber St. Suite 201, Colorado Springs, CO. 80903. *Please make a note on the check "RNB Colburn" to make sure our team gets proper credit. (This method also saves the modest credit card fee) I hope you will be able to join the team again (or for the first time) this year and help us strike a blow for economic literacy and our free enterprise system which is under ever increasing attack.

Best Regards, Capt Dave
