PLAYFOREJA
When: Tuesday, May 10, 2022WHAT IS PLAYFOREJA?
PLAYFOREJA is an indoor golf fundraiser that is held at TopGolf in Birmingham.
Picture a 240-yard outfield with dartboard-like targets in the ground.
The closer to the “bulls-eye” you get or the farther out you hit your micro-chipped ball, the more points you receive.
Challenge you co-workers, clients, or friends to addictive point-scoring golf games that anyone from pro golfer to putt-putt champ can play in any weather.
The JA Bowling Classic is JA's single largest fundraising event to develop the resources necessary to provide this valuable programming for our youth. Thank you for your investment in the future.
The Bowling Classic provides a valuable team building activity for the office and coworkers enjoy bowling and having fun with their friends and colleagues while raising money for JA. Bowlers reach out to family, friends, coworkers and others to solicit donations on behalf of JA. In that way, it is like other activity-based fundraising events. We suggest a $150 goal for each participant or $750 per team.
