After a day of strikes, spares, gutter-balls, and a lot of fun, the Bowl-A-Thon held at our local Smithtown AMF bowling lanes, on Sunday November 14, was a major success. After constant promotions, Smithtown West DECA reeled in over $2,500 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and gave donating to a cause a new meaning. This fundraiser showed that people in our community can get together, have fun, and promote a good cause all at the same time. The 95 bowlers that showed up at the event did just that. The tickets to this event were $15 for each person and that was their ticket in for unlimited bowling for 2 hours and the price included the shoe rental. DECA managed to raise additional funds for the Make-A-Wish through a 50/50 raffle, a Chinese raffle, and by having people at the event willingly donate directly to Make-A-Wish with no incentives. Being a member of DECA, I must say that this event was very well organized and a lot of fun for people of all ages. We shared a lot of laughs as we watched our friends get multiple gutter-balls or get a convincing strike. And all at the same time, raised money for this great foundation and did something great for the Smithtown Community.
