MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Let’s bowl, let’s bowl, let’s rock and roll!
Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South held its annual Bowl-A-Thon Saturday for the first time in two years.
City leaders such as Mayor Jim Strickland and others headed to Billy Hardwick’s All Star Lanes on White Station Road to hit the lanes and raise some money. The event is Junior Achievement’s biggest fundraiser of the year.
The pandemic caused the annual event to be canceled the past two years.
Junior Achievement covers 25 counties and holds K-12 programming for children geared toward entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and workforce readiness.
All funds raised at the Bowl-A-Thon go towards the organization’s educational programs.
