Junior Achievement’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.
The inspiration piece comes from community volunteers who not only deliver our lessons but share their experience.
In the process, these volunteers serve as role models helping to positively impact young people’s perceptions about the importance of education, as well as critical life skills.
Preparation involves our proven lessons that promote financial capability, work and career readiness, and business ownership.

Why do we need your help FUNraising 4 JA? Because...
JA never charges public schools for our volunteer driven curriculum, programs, and student events.
Individuals, companies, grants, and FUNdraising events support JA programs and student events.
Proceeds will benefit students throughout the region. FUNdraising 4 JA efforts are critical!
Your participation and your team recruitment often lead to new volunteers for JA.
JA provides a terrific team building experience while Playing 4 JA!
Who can participate?
JA welcomes companies, both small, medium, and large to participate.
We encourage civic organizations and groups of friends to get involved and use this event as a “give back to the community” project.
Like companies or departments/ branches within companies can challenge each other to create a competitive edge to Play 4 JA!
How does it work?
Large companies can choose a company coordinator to recruit Team Captains, who in turn will recruit teams of up to five participants.
Smaller companies or groups can have a Team Captain(s) and recruit a team(s) of up to five participants.
The JA Sports Bowl gives participants a user-friendly format to FUNdraise online.
Select a team name, pick your session, register your team online, select a team and individual avatars and start FUNdraising 4 JA.
FUNdraisers can utilize the tools of this app to reach potential donors via emails, and Facebook and Twitter posts.
NEW THIS YEAR!!!!! If you prefer texting your potential donors, Include the key word OKCPlay4JA in your text and they will be directed to the website and can choose you as the recipient of their donation.
Companies have the option to support their employees through a sponsorship.
Where and when do we celebrate Team successes?
Teams raising $750 or more will gather on Friday, November 4th at Windsor Lanes for a bowling celebration party!
3:30 pm Registration | Bowling and Fun 4:00-6:00pm
Teams are treated to two games of bowling, team photos, official event t-shirts, food, fun, great door prizes, and lots of comradery.
Teams can dress up in their favorite sports attire and enter the costume contest.
Teams and/or individuals can be creative by “dressing a pin” and entering the “Dress the Pin” event!
