If you’re looking for a fun way to exercise while supporting a good cause, stop by Woodleaf Bowling Lanes about 10 a.m. Saturday.
There, Livingstone College administrators, faculty, staff and students will participate in the college’s 17th Annual Bowl-A-Thon to benefit the United Negro College Fund.
“The Bowl-A-Thon is an event to which we invite our donors, faculty, staff, students and friends for a fun-filled day that’s centered around fund raising,” said Deborah Johnson, director of UNCF for Livingstone College. “Usually 75 to 100 people come out, but this year we’re hoping for even more participants than that as we try to raise much-needed dollars for UNCF.”
Livingstone College’s 17th annual Bowl-A-Thon is being held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Cost is $75 per bowler or $500 for teams or sponsorships.
“We are so appreciative of everything our sponsors do to help make the Bowl-A-Thon successful,” Johnson said. “They really go out of their way to help make this a special, fun day for the college.”
