Creative Works Studio’s Bowlathon

On February 1st, 2015, we held our first-ever Bowlathon Fundraiser. We started with a fundraising goal of $10,000 and were bowled over when we exceeded it by 160% – total funds now sitting at $16,008.80!

We filled Bathurst Bowlerama with 16 bowling teams. Our talented member, Gustavo, gave an articulate speech at the event and kept participants moving with an excellent DJ set. Imagine: all lanes full of people tapping their feet in between bowling and snacking, dressed up in all sorts of costumes from the Strikeologists’ lab coats, to The Alley Cats’ painted faces, to member Lawrence in his bear costume.

We are ever so grateful to our hard-working volunteer Bowlathon Coordinator, Sarah Vincett who lead this event and who previously coordinated our involvement in the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. We’re also thankful for all of our enthusiastic participants who raised funds and bowled, and to all those individuals and organizations who donated money and prizes. All funds will go into sustaining and growing our programming.
