Many thanks to our 17 bowling teams, as well as corporate sponsors Chemical Bank, United Federal Credit Union, BTCU and Crowe Horwath, for making this Event such a big success! Hope to see YOU next time!
Here's your chance to help JA of Michiana deliver Financial Literacy, Work Readiness, and Entrepreneurship programs to nearly 7,500 Northern IN / SW MI students each year -- and have fun at the same time! Just put together a five-person team, have each player collect pledges, and come Bowl with us! Each team is asked to raise a minimum of $375 in pledges to support Junior Achievement programming. (For details, see the Information Packet (pdf).) We can give you Fundraising Ideas for securing pledges, and even help you set up your own web page on FirstGiving.com so that you can watch your total grow as you take pledges online. Challenge fellow team members or other teams to see who can raise the most in pledges!
Individual team members will receive an entry in our grand prize drawing for every $75 turned in on the day of the event -- the more pledges your team members collect, the more chances they get to win the grand prize.
No bowling experience is necessary -- having a good time while raising money for JA programs is the priority of the day! For more details, feel free to download our Bowl- For- Education Information Packet (pdf). Along with Team Captain and Bowler Checklists, the complete packet also includes Team Registration and Pledge Forms, a sample letter to ask for pledges, a Junior Achievement fact-sheet to help you answer questions about JA or that you can print and distribute with your sample letter, and a print version of our Fundraising Ideas page. To register your team, please click here for our online Team Registration Form, or download the Information Packet (pdf), print the Team Registration Form, and fax it to our office at: 269-983-7477. Deadlines for Registration: Feb. 1 in Michigan, and Feb. 8 in Indiana.

There is no registration fee -- bowling and shoe rental will be free. It's a terrific networking and team-building opportunity, good advertising for your business, and there will be all kinds of great prizes awarded throughout the Event.
