2021 JA Accountants Classic
JA programs deal with real issues like workforce readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship so that young people not only understand their opportunities in life but can also take advantage of those opportunities.
During the 2021 Accountants Classic companies recruit associates to participate in a series of events for prizes. The events are divided into two categories: Play for JA (4 Events) and Pay for JA (1 Event).

WHAT 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.
