Ninth Annual Corporate Bowl Announced - 2007
   The Ninth Annual Corporate Bowl, sponsored by the Grand Island School Business Alliance (GISBA) and local area businesses, is quickly approaching. Preliminary Rounds take place Tuesday March 13th with Finals on Tuesday March 20th. Parents, students, sponsors and the community at large are highly encouraged to attend the Corporate Bowl at the Grand Island High School. Both nights begin at 7 p.m., where you can try your luck at the Theme Basket Raffle and support your team.
   The Corporate Bowl provides Grand Island High School students a chance to use their academic skills to compete for college scholarship awards through several rounds of competition. The fast-paced questioning creates an exciting mood as teams rush to “buzz in” with the correct answer. Members of the top three teams are presented with their share of the scholarship funds raised through this effort.
   GISBA, originally founded to build a relationship between the school district and the Grand Island business community to assist in developing the job skills of the today’s young adults, gives one hundred percent (100%) of the money raised to support activities such as Corporate Bowl, Job Search, and Shadow Day.
   "Local business community and area leaders your support is needed to help our students succeed," a spokesman for Corporate Bowl 2007 said this week. Donations may be made at the Platinum ($1000 or greater), Gold ($500-$999) or Silver ($100-$499) levels, though any donation is appreciated and acknowledged in the information booklet provided at the day's events. Checks may be made out to the Grand Island Foundation and mailed to Invitrogen Corporation c/o Kelli Tanzella 3175 Staley Road, Grand Island, NY 14072.
   The Corporate bowl will take place in the Grand Island High School Auditorium:
Preliminary Rounds - Tuesday, March 13th
Finals - Tuesday, March 20th
