Twenty-two years and counting, H-E-B has been committed to the mission of Junior Achievement(JA). This year we had over 275 Partners from the Central Texas region come together at Highland Lanes to celebrate another successful year of supporting and fundraising over $26,000 for JA!
H-E-B’s company’s culture of acceptance, equity, and philanthropy creates a family of Partners (what H-E-B calls their employees). Year after year, everyone works together for the greater good, not just for JA but for so many organizations, schools, veterans, and marginalized communities to name a few.
For us at JA of Central Texas, it is so impressive how each store rallies each year for our bowl-a-thon to help our community’s young people have access to our life changing experiences. H-E-B goes above and beyond, not only do they fundraise for the bowl-a-thon, they also put informative JA posters up in their stores, invite JA students to be celebrated, show up at our schools to honor our educators, volunteer at other JA events.
What an honor to be included in this H-E-B family for the last 22 years.
As outsiders looking in each year at the H-E-B Bowl-a-thon, it is always so impressive how everyone creates the most fantastic costumes and cheer each other on as they bowl with high-fives aplenty. Most companies, when you say “team building,” it is not met with such enthusiasm, but at H-E-B this is the heart of their company culture. Everyone works together to make great customer experiences in the stores and rewarding Partner experiences at work and in their community.
Twenty-two years, WOW, thank you H-E-B!
