Teams play options are from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday or noon to 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. "The Boo-A-Thon is a great company team-building activity that helps us raise needed funds in a fun way to support financial literacy, workforce readiness and entrepreneurial programs for more than 20,000 K-12 students," said Michelle Jackson, president and CEO of the nonprofit Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada. "This Halloween-themed event has always generated a lot of laughs and friendly competition for company teams and also family and friend groups, and has been successful for Junior Achievement." During the Boo-A-Thon, participants can show off their bowling tricks and treats. Teams are comprised of five people, with each participant raising at least $100 per person, and costumes are encouraged. Prizes will be awarded for the best team and individual costume, lane decoration, top individual bowler, and top individual and team fundraiser. Participants also can purchase raffle tickets for other prizes. There is a $20 registration fee for all bowlers, which includes unlimited bowling for two hours, shoes, pizza, soda, and prize opportunities. Bowlers can register their teams at Bit.ly/3OSzqZr.
