Bowl-A-Thon is not a typical bowling tournament. No bowling skill is required and participants earn prizes not by rolling strikes, but by raising funds for the Alzheimer’s Association – South Carolina Chapter. Bowl-A-Thon will be held on Saturday, May 12, at Boulevard Lanes in Anderson. Participants register in five person teams that can be made up of groups from various businesses, churches, schools, civic organizations, healthcare agencies, fitness centers, etc. There is a minimum $250 sponsor fee to enter a team. You can learn more about Bowl-A-Thon, including sponsorship opportunities, and even register at www.bowlathon.kintera.org.
Alzheimer’s disease is an incurable, progressive, degenerative neurological disorder that is ultimately fatal. It is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. Of the top 10 causes of death in the US, Alzheimer’s disease is the only one that cannot be prevented, cured, or even slowed. Bowl-A-Thon participants and supporters are seeking to Strike Out Alzheimer’s by raising funds for research and to help local families dealing with dementia.
The Alzheimer’s Association – South Carolina Chapter is a voluntary nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing research, advocating and providing support services to families and individuals affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
