JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT OF SOUTH FLORIDA, INC.

The Beach Blanket Bowl-a-thon

JA Beach Blanket Bowl-A-Thon

It's Bowlathon time at Transworld and Junior Achievement!!!

I really need your help this year as I have recently become Chairman of Junior Achievement of South Florida.    The board will be looking to me to set the pace for donations and I want to show them that friends, family and business associates can really help them raise big money during this year's Bowlathon!

We have a lot going on this year at JA.   We will start construction very soon on the Huizenga Center for Free Enterprise which will house our headquarters, JA's Enterprise Village, and JA's Finance Park.   Find out more at www.jasouthflorida.org

But these Bowlathon dollars go toward our mission of getting more JA volunteers into the classrooms!

So, please help me on reaching my goal to help the children that are helped by Junior Achievement.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support-- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Read the about the hot competition between Consolidated Credit and Transworld below!

From Howard Dvorkin:

As all of you know we are in the middle of our annual Junior Achievement Bowl-a-thon fundraiser and the competition around the office is fierce to say the least.  Furthermore, most of you know that as an organization we have never in it’s history backed down from anything including any competition that we have been confronted with.  Thus is the case with a challenge from another company that we deem as completely inferior to our fundraising ability, however we are forced to respond and publicly humiliate the challenger. 

Last week we were confronted by Transworld Business Brokers, LLC and their CEO Andy Cagnetta with our ability to surpass his organization in raising money for JA.  Although Transworld does not possess the staff numbers that we have or the sheer will and desire to win, they are attempting to raise funds from the outside and thus meet our challenge in total dollars raised by each organization to benefit JA.  Even though they are relying on help from the outside to compensate for their inadequacy, I believe we can still raise much more than them and thus we need to push hard to meet their feeble efforts.   

I strongly encourage any demonstration of our true grit during our annual Pie Throwing Contest.  We strongly suggest that you invite your friends, family, vendors, and anybody who has a score to settle to participate in this event in an effort to put us over the top and disengage Transworld’s feeble challenge.   

Regards,

From Andy Cagnetta:

Dear Transworld staff,

As you can see Consolidated Credit is trying to measure up to Transworld's team spirit and fundraising abilities.  Obviously we have them scared and on the run. 

I suggest we redouble our fundraising efforts on my website http://www.firstgiving.com/acagnetta  and get a few others here to join the Transworld Team.    That way we can surpass Consolidated Credit's feeble attempt at fund raising.   We can then celebrate our victory by crashing their pie throwing contest and further humiliate them by throwing fastball strikes in the face of their CEO.   The money raised by us throwing pies will add to their totals, but will still pale in comparison to our pile of cash we deliver.

I look forward to being declared victorious over a well numbered, but easily manageable competitor. 

Andy

ps.  It is no coincidence that their name begins with Console (OK I added the e, like Quail did)


From Howard Dvorkin:


Competition is fierce with those punks from Transworld Business Brokers.  Rumor has it that they are right on our heals with total dollars raised.  We are in the home stretch and we have to make the next week and a half count.  Lets show the “Punks from Pompano” who owns the JA Bowl-A-Thon.


From Andy Cagnetta:

Dear Howard and the dollar-light debtfree crew,
 
The Creampuff Consolidated Crew better start baking some major pies!!  Our prolific "punks" are really starting to collect the cash here at Transworld (located here in Fort Lauderdale...link to google maps for you http://maps.google.com/maps?q=5400+Nw+21st+Terrace,+Fort+Lauderdale,+FL+33309&spn=0.020889,0.021649&hl=en)
 
Their arms are going to get tired winging those pies to catch up with the Terrific Team Transworld!!!!
