Thank you for visiting the
JA website. And, if you love golf, you are definitely at the right
place!
Junior Achievement of Central Iowa is planning a special event for 2008
and on behalf of our Board of Directors, we would be thrilled if you
could help us in our efforts to raise monies for vital JA educational
programs here in central Iowa.
On Monday, August 18th, 2008, JA will be hosting our annual Golf
Classic at Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines. But, the 2008
event will have an exciting new twist. We are going to have a local
celebrity/newsmaker/community business leader join each foursome for a
round of golf. Some of the confirmed participants include ISU Athletic
Director Jamie Pollard, Drake Athletic Director Sandy Hatfield Clubb,
Coaches Johnny Orr and Nick Nurse, Des Moines Register Publisher Laura
Hollingsworth, former Drake players Adam Emmenencker and Klayton Korver,
former Hawkeyes Al Lorenzen and Chuck Hartlieb and many others.
Obviously, the golf at Glen Oaks is a special treat in itself. But,
when you factor in the meaningful cause behind the fantastic golf
outing, we are sure that you’ll agree that this one event that you
simply cannot miss.
Our mission at Junior Achievement is to reach every single student in
central Iowa with business and economic education. Through our
educational programs, we inspire our youth to achieve, involve
volunteers in meaningful activities and invest in the future of the
children in our community. Your participation with the JA Celebrity
Golf Classic will help us to raise the necessary funds that allow for
the continuation of our programs that help over 20,000 students in our
community gain the knowledge, skills and motivation to be successful in
school, in the workplace and in life.
We hope that you will join us for this wonderful, fun-filled day at
Glen Oaks on August 18th. Please click on the links for sponsorship and
registration for more details about this terrific day of golf while
helping our children right here in central Iowa.
Thank you and we are looking forward to seeing you at Glen Oaks!
Sincerely,
