A bowling fundraiser in Chatham-Kent has scored big for a handful of local non-profit organizations.
The 7th Annual Bowling Stones Fundraiser hosted by Chatham's Bowlerama raised a total of $27,000 in support of Outreach for Hunger, Community Living Chatham-Kent, and St. Clair College's Bursary Fund.
In a news release issued Thursday, Nicole Roeszler, Manager of Community Relations with Community Living Chatham-Kent (CLC-K), said all the funds raised will help the lives of people who have diverse abilities by providing quality services.
"Community Living Chatham-Kent (CLC-K) is extremely grateful to be a part of this fantastic event," said Roeszler.. "We extend a big thank you to all participants, sponsors, and supporters for making the event an overwhelming success."
Chatham Outreach for Hunger will use the much-needed funds to continue purchasing food to serve families across the region in need of additional support.
“Chatham Outreach for Hunger is happy to say that this year’s bowling event has raised much needed funds which will be used to provide nutritious meals to food insecure families," said Executive Director Brenda LeClair.
Fundraiser participants also had a chance to meet Jeff Burrows, the drummer for The Tea Party.
