Ocala (FL)—The Ocala community is invited to join in with Rasmussen College as it celebrates summer with a family friendly Summer Bash on Saturday, August 9 from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m.

The Summer Bash will include food, fun, and games including a Hula-Hoop contest, face painting, a dunk tank, a watermelon eating contest, and much more.

The Summer Bash is a free event open to the community.

Anyone interested in participating in games is asked to purchase a ticket. All proceeds from the ticket sales will go to supporting the Junior Achievers.

Junior Achievers is the world’s largest organization dedicated to preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. Students and educators typically partner with businesses to gain experience and knowledge of the business environment. Rasmussen College has been supporting Junior Achievers for several years.

"Junior Achievers is an excellent organization that prepares our young people to be successful contributors to our communities," Rasmussen College Campus Director Pete Beasley said. "At Rasmussen, we are proud to be able to support their mission."
