Decreases in state and federal funding coupled with increases in demand for services make fundraising events such as the Bowl-2-Benefit critical to sustaining services for those at risk and in need.
Last year, the Bowl-2-Benefit raised more than $90,000. Event organizers hope to exceed that amount this year and attract an even larger bowling crowd.
