Bowling 4 the Cure

Visit the Bowling 4 The Cure Blog for special announcements

Peggy Bowers, founder of Bowling 4 The Cure, announced that the organization recently was able to donate $10,000 to help endow breast cancer research at the Mayo Clinic as a grant through GreaterGood.org. Peggy says, “Mayo Clinic matches donations, so we were able to turn $10,000 into $20,000 to help find a cure for this disease. I also want to thank Arrowhead Community Bank for all of their support for Bowling 4 The Cure. I was so grateful to be able to direct my Volunteer of the Year gift to cancer research, and to know that it was going twice as far. The approximately 20 hours of research time we funded increased to 40.”

A Strike Against Breast Cancer

Peggy, founder of Bowling 4 The Cure, says that although the annual October bowl-a-thon raises money for cancer research, she is compelled to make the efforts against cancer relentless and ongoing.

She observes, "The results we have with the bowl-a-thon have been awesome every fall. However, two years ago, my sister died of breast cancer, right after the bowl-a-thon. And recently we even lost our dog Pokey to breast cancer. When I say this is disease threatens everybody, I mean exactly that. We have to keep on pushing until the threat of breast cancer is just a distant memory."

She concludes, "They say money can't buy happiness. I don't agree. I think a lot of us will be overjoyed when research finds a cure for this killer of our loved ones."

Bowling 4 The Cure hosts an annual bowl-a-thon. Last year's event was hosted with Lakeview Lanes, 105th Avenue and Thunderbird.

Peggy says, "Our raffle prizes are reason enough to come. People are very generous with us, and even the folks cheering the bowlers on from the sidelines have a wonderful time."

Each bowler/participant pays $20 apiece, which includes shoe rental and three games.
