The Annual EMCC Bowl-A-Thon event is held in November each year to raise funds for our Minority Achievement Program. The program provides its minority learning center 90 minutes each weekday and an hour on Saturday. The impact on the community has been tremendous. The average GPA of our students has risen to 3.4 and the high school graduation rate is 98%. Minority tutors primarily staff the program, some are our paid staff, and many are volunteers from the UW-Madison’s Masters Education Program as well as students from Madison and Edgewood College. In recent years we have seen many of our student attend and graduate from UW-Madison. This year was very special as we sent our first student away to Stanford University!
The Bowl-A-Thon is a fun event that supports this important work. Please consider one of the following ways to support.
Have your company/organization sign up as a sponsor for the event.
Gather your co-workers and families to form a five-person team to enjoy a fun-filled afternoon supporting local youth. For a minimum of $50 in pledges per bowler, play three games, receive a 2022 Bowl-A-Thon t-shirt, rental shoes, and be entered to win great prizes.
