On Jan. 24, more than 60 teams representing various businesses, community organizations and government compete with their bowling and fundraising skills for awards at the SuperBowl-A-Thon VII. Each bowler receives an event T-shirt, food and the chance to win fabulous door prizes.
The proceeds from the event will be used to support projects of the Westside Shelter and Hunger Coalition (WSHC). For 20 years, WSHC, a project of Community Partners, has addressed the needs of the homeless population in the western part of Los Angeles County by coordinating programs, such as food and shelter, job counseling and health services, as well as providing education and advocacy. WSHC brings together more than 25 member organizations representing local human service, government agencies and faith-based programs.
This year, Morley Builders is the “Perfect Game” title sponsor. Additional support include “Strike” sponsor First Federal Bank and “Spare” level sponsors, which are The Lobster restaurant, Santa Monica Place, Southern California Disposal & Recycling, DoubleTree Guest Suites Santa Monica and the Law Offices of Gordon P. Gitlen. Food will be provided by Johnnie’s New York Pizzeria (Third Street Promenade) and Arby’s Market Fresh in Santa Monica.
In addition to our sponsors, additional teams representing business, government, media and social service organizations will “bowl for dollars” for the coalition.
The bowl-a-thon will take place between 1 and 5 p.m. at AMF Bay Shore Lanes on 234 Pico Blvd. in Santa Monica. For more information, contact Donna Gentry at (310) 828-7010 or e-mail
