BOWLING, from page 1 Teams bowl for charity, fun
By Daily Press staff
At an afternoon of friendly competition, more than 60 teams representing various businesses, community organizations and government competed with their bowling and fundraising skills to raise money for the homeless.
Each bowler received an event T-shirt, food and the chance to win fabulous door prizes. Due to what organizers say was tremendous interest, there was three sessions of competition.
Proceeds from SuperBowl-A- Thon VII 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 coordi-nating programs — such as food and shelter, job counseling and health services — and providing education and advocacy. WSHC brings together more than 25 organizations representing local human service, government agencies and faith-based programs.
Morley Builders is the event’s “Perfect Game” title sponsor with “Strike” sponsor First Federal Bank of California and “Spare” level sponsors: The Lobster, Santa Monica Place, Southern California Disposal & Recycling, DoubleTree Guest Suites Santa Monica and the Law Offices of Gordon P. Gitlen.
In addition to the sponsors, teams representing business, government, media and social service organizations “bowled for dollars” for the Coalition, including a Santa Monica City Council team of Mayor Richard Bloom and Council Members: Michael Feinstein, Kevin McKeown and Pamela O’Connor.
