The 2016 Bowl-a-thon in support of Junior Achievement (JA) of Southwest New England will take place on Tue., Feb. 23 at Bradley Bowl in Windsor Locks.
The Hartford’s goal for this year is to raise $60,000 to support JA’s objective to deliver real-world business and personal finance skills to students from kindergarten through high school. It takes $50 to provide valuable Junior Achievement programs to one Connecticut student.
Junior Achievement's Purpose:
Junior Achievement inspires and prepares young people to succeed in a global economy.
Junior Achievement Sparks Student Success
JA impacted over 4.6 million U.S. students in more than 201,000 classrooms during 2014-2015.
Our volunteer-delivered, kindergarten-12th grade programs foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills, and use experiential learning to inspire students to dream big and reach their potential. With the help of more than 218,000 volunteers, JA students develop the skills they need to experience the realities and opportunities of work and entrepreneurship in the 21st century global marketplace.
