SUMMARY:Bowl-A-Thon
DESCRIPTION:After a 6-year hiatus\, the Bowl-A-Thon is back! From 2005 to 2019\, the Bowl-A-Thon gathered friends\, families\, and allies from far and wide to help raise funds to send kids to camp. And we are so excited to bring this wonderful family event back to the community. Our goal is to bring children\, youth\, friends\, and family together for a day of FUNdraising and bowling adventures. All funds raised will help subsidize camp fees for the 181 campers who are attending camp this summer! This year\, Ten Oaks aims to raise $40\,000! \n\n\n\nThe 2025 Bowl-A-Thon will take place on June 1\, 2025 from 10:30 AM to 1 PM. We welcome participants of all ages\, skill levels\, and abilities to join us for bowling\, arcade games and prizes! On the day of the Bowl-A-Thon\, teams enjoy an afternoon of incredible fun: bowl\, play arcade games\, and participate in team spirit challenges to win prizes! Costumes and team themes are strongly encouraged.
