The Super-Bowl-A-Thon is rolling back into town. More than 65 teams representing various businesses, community organizations, media and government compete with their bowling and fundraising skills for awards.

The bowl-a-thon will take place on Friday, Feb. 4 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at AMF Bay Shore Lanes, 234 Pico Blvd.

Proceeds will benefit the Westside Shelter and Hunger Coalition cold/wet winter shelter, which provides emergency beds for 300 people nightly. For 20 years, WSHC, a project of Community Partners, has addressed the needs of the homeless and low income population in the western part of Los Angeles County by coordi-nating programs, such as food and shelter, job counseling and health services, as well as providing education and advocacy. WSHC brings together more than 25 organizations representing local human service, government agencies and faith-based programs.

Each bowler will receive an event T-shirt, food and the chance to win door prizes. There will be three sessions of competition and the event is a sellout. Making their debut this year are teams from the Santa Monica Fire and Police departments.

First Federal Bank of California is this year’s “Perfect Game” title sponsor with “Strike” sponsor being the Santa Monica Police Officers’ Association and “Spare” level sponsors are Harding Larmore Kutcher & Kozal, Fairmont Miramar Hotel, The Lobster, Santa Monica Convention & Visitors Bureau and Santa Monica Place.

Food for the three afternoon sessions will be provided by Arby’s Market Fresh Santa Monica, Buca di Beppo, The Victorian/Duck Duck Mousse, New Directions Catering Services, St. Joseph Center’s Culinary Program, CLARE Foundation and more.

Awards: At a March 2005 post-event function, awards and certificates will be presented to the individuals and teams with the top scores for each of the three sessions as well as individuals and teams that raise funds through pledges. School district looking for financial oversight
