The second annual Bridge Bowl (bowling fundraiser) will be held on February 27, 2010 at Orland Bowl. Registration begins at 12:30, and bowling will be from 1:00-3:00. This year's event is themed "Bowling Thru The Decades"...and bowling teams are encouraged to show up in costumes themed after your favorite decade. Awards will be given out for the best costumes. The event will also feature music from each decade, a great silent auction, a split the pot raffle, door prizes, good food, and the opportunity to support a GREAT cause.

There are several ways you can get involved...

1) Become a "Lane Host" and build your own team of 5 or 6. Each "Lane Host" is responsible for recruiting their team, distributing all event literature to team members, and making sure everyone is doing their best to raise funds. Registration fee for a team is $100. Remember...this registration fee only covers the expense of bowling and food. We ask that each team member collect donations from friends and family in support of the free programs at The Bridge Teen Center. Click here for a team registration packet:

2) Bowl as an individual. Not able to put a full team together? It's OK...you can come alone and make some new friends! Registration fee is $20 for each individual bowler. Remember...this registration fee only covers the expense of bowling and food. If you are able, we also ask that you collect donations from friends and family in support of the free programs at The Bridge Teen Center. Click here for an individual registration packet:

3) Become a "Strike Sponsor" (minimum donation of $500) or "Spare Sponsor" (minimum donation of $100). Great opportunity to promote your business or pay tribute to a loved one. For more information on these sponsorship opportunities, click either link above and check out the last page.

4) Contribute an item or basket for our silent auction. Past donations have included concert tickets, sports memorabilia, gift baskets, gift certificates, unique experiences, and much more. Contact us directly at 708.466.8080, email bridgeteencenter@aol.com, or see any Junior Board member. 100% of the proceeds from this auction will benefit The Bridge Teen Center.

5) Spread the word. Our goal is to fill all 50 lanes at Orland Bowl. If you know someone who might be interested in this event, forward them this event page or email them the event PDF files.

Our goal is to open a temporary storefront site in Orland Park around January 1st. With that in mind, your support has never meant more. The Bridge Teen Center is being built by the community, for the community...so your participation is very meaningful! If you have any questions, call or email us anytime. Look forward to seeing you all at Bridge Bowl 2010.

Thanks in advance for your support.
