Don't forget the FUN-raiser!

Another reminder, our last fundraising event will be Sunday, November 4th at 1pm at AMF Sky Lanes on OBT. For just $10 you get two hours of all-you-can-bowl with shoes included! A great deal for a great cause!

Bake Sale!

We held a bake sale at the 7-11 (owned by Deepti's parents) on Jetport Drive near the 528 Expressway. We had plenty of delicious cupcakes, cookies and rice krispy treats to go around!
Don't those look good?


Another happy customer supporting his community!

Workin' at the Car Wash, Yeah!

Sunday morning bright and early the JA Knights met up to hold a fundraising car wash. Although our original location fell through, we tried a few other business and thankfully met Ms. Martinez, the General Manager at Arby's (2420 West Oak Ridge Road). She was excited to have us and offered access for our water hoses, ice, a stack of coupons to offer to donors, and good student coupons to give to our JA teachers. Thanks to Arby's for being such a team player in the community!
 
For buying a  car wash or giving a donation, they recieved ice cold water and a sheet of Arby's coupons.
