MDA Intern/Volunteer Wanted for Publix Bowl Help

Save to Favorites

We are looking for an intern or a volunteer that can help us with our Publix Bowl program.

What is a Publix Bowl?

Publix stores around the area gather for a night of bowling fun! Bowlers are encouraged to raise $50 on behalf of the Muscular Dystrophy Association to bowl for their store and have the chance to gather lane sponsors from local businesses to contribute to the overall fundraising goal. The event will require volunteers to help with collecting money, letting bowlers know which lane they'll be in, giving away contest prizes, taking photos of each store, and cheering on bowlers.
