BOWLING 4 THE CURE WILL HOLD ANNUAL EVENT TO FUND BREAST CANCER RESEARCH

GLENDALE, ARIZ. -- (September 21, 2009) -- Bowling 4 The Cure will host its annual bowl-a-thon in conjunction with Lakeview Lanes in Sun City Sunday, October 4, 2009 from 10:00 to 5:00 p.m. Funds raised will be donated to breast cancer research. Peggy Bowers, founder of Bowling 4 The Cure says, “Money is a terrific weapon against disease when it funds research. Every dollar contributed helps continue the fight against this killer of both women and men.”

Peggy Bowers, founder of Bowling 4 The Cure, adds that although the annual October bowl-a-thon raises money for cancer research, she is driven to make the efforts against cancer a year-round event. She says, “We began as a local, grassroots group, so the results we have every year with the bowl-a-thon are amazing. We know that the economy has hit people hard the last year – especially people with ongoing health challenges. So this year’s bowl-a-thon will be especially meaningful in terms of keeping the fight going, and offering hope. I have lost too many family members and friends to breast cancer, and I will never slow down my efforts to defeat it.”

Peggy adds, “If you can’t come out and bowl, we ask your support through the donation of goods, services, or gift cards that can be used as raffle or silent auction items throughout the event. If you want to come just to watch and participate in the fun, please feel welcome. We have many people who don’t bowl, but are with us every year just to cheer us on.”

“If you would like to be part of this wonderful day as more than a corporate donor, we invite you, your employees, friends and family members to purchase tickets for $20 each. Your ticket entitles you to three games, shoe rental, and your use of a bowling ball. You can choose between bowling a morning or an afternoon session. But please sign up now as spaces are limited.”

Last year, thanks to an endowed fund for breast cancer research through GreaterGood Network (GreaterGood.org), Bowling 4 The Cure was able to donate $20,000 to Mayo Clinic.

Lakeview Lanes is located at 10502 W. Thunderbird Road, Sun City, Arizona. Information about Bowling 4 The Cure is available at www.bowling4thecure.com. Peggy Bowers can be reached at 602-938-5427 or peggy@bowling4thecure.com.
