The Wake Forest Woman’s Club, a non-profit organization of community service volunteers, hosts the second annual Charity Bowl-A-Thon at Brooks Street Bowl,413 S. Brooks Street, Wake Forest, on Sunday, August 3, 2014.
Sponsors for this event will be recognized with their company’s name and logo on banners placed above the lanes. Anyone who donates a door prize will be named when the lucky bowler’s name is drawn for the prize.
Captains for teams of four may sign up with a team name and pay the team fee online: http://www.bowlathon.net/event/WFWC2014. People of all ages and with a variety of bowling talents are encouraged to put together a team and join in on the fun. The event is for everyone, including families, friends, and co-workers.
Team captains will register the team’s name and the four bowlers’ names, pay the $100 team fee, and choose either the 1:30 to 3 p.m. session or the 3:30 to 5 p.m. session for bowling. Teams will bowl two games, and there will be chances to win trophies and prizes. Rental of bowling shoes and ball are included, and each bowler will receive one free soft drink and one free game pass for another day. Bring extra cash to buy snacks and raffle tickets for prizes. Tickets for a 50/50 “split the money” raffle will be sold from start to finish, and the winner will be contacted by phone.
The two teams with the highest pin-total scores will win a team trophy. The prize for the top-scoring team will be $200 cash. The team that raises the most online donations from sponsors will receive a prize. Anyone may sponsor one lane, the event, individual bowlers, or a team by making tax-deductible online donations at http://www.bowlathon.net/event/WFWC2014.
