Participants can choose from two sessions on Saturday, 10 a.m. to noon or 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday bowling is noon to 2 p.m.
“The Boo-A-Thon is a great company team-building activity that helps us raise needed funds in an entertaining way to support financial literacy, workforce readiness and entrepreneurial programs for more than 20,000 K-12 students,” said Michelle Jackson, president and CEO of the nonprofit Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada. “This event has always generated a lot of laughs for employee teams and also family and friend groups, and has been successful for Junior Achievement.”
Boo-A-Thon is a day of fun and festivities where participants can show off their bowling tricks and treats. Bowlers put together a five-person team and raise at least $100 per person from friends, family, neighbors, colleagues and acquaintances. Teams are encouraged to wear costumes for chances to win best team and individual costume prizes. Prizes also will be awarded for lane decoration, top individual bowler, and top individual and team fundraiser. Participants can purchase raffle tickets for more chances at winning prizes and bid on silent auction items.
Junior Achievement will provide all of the fundraising tools to help individuals and teammates reach and exceed donation goals. There is a $20 registration fee for all bowlers, which includes unlimited bowling for two hours, shoes, pizza, soda, and the chance to win fabulous prizes.
