Sun Coast was honored with the Breakthrough Award for the Junior Achievement Bowl-A-Thon fundraiser. We had an amazing turn out with 17 teams made up of 102 bowlers that raised a total of $10,258. Thank you to all of our employees that helped make this event a success. Each dollar empowers local students to own their economic success through JA’s entrepreneurship, financial literacy and work-readiness programs which can improve the quality of their lives and our communities.
