2026 JA Bowl-A-Thon: Future Bound
Blast off with us this March for our 41st Annual JA Bowl-A-Thon: Future Bound! This year’s theme is all about looking ahead, imagining what’s possible, and having a stellar time while supporting students across Southwest Virginia.
We’re inviting teams to go all-in on the space theme: think astronauts, aliens, and interstellar explorers. At every bowling shift, we’ll host a space-themed costume contest, so suit up, get creative, and prepare for liftoff!
