ALIQUIPPA — Sheffield Lanes will host a Nov. 9 Bowl-A-Thon to benefit veterans through the Gary Sinise Foundation.

League Bowler Chad Wilson, a veteran himself, along with Zach D’Agostino from Sheffield Lanes in Aliquippa, are organizing the event and are looking for bowlers and sponsors to participate.

Up to 16 teams can participate in the Bowl-A-Thon. Six people may be on each team, but only four will bowl each game. The entry cost is $180 per team.

Teams will bowl a total of 10 games, starting at 8 a.m. Teams must get a minimum of 10 cents per pin, with a goal of $1 per pin; this total pledge can be broken up across a variety of people or companies.

Lunch will be provided, and Sheffield Lanes’ bar will be open for business throughout the event.

There will be drawings for a 50/50 and raffles, strike ball, as well as award prizes.

Ricky Dee’s Pizza will provide pizza at the end of the event. After the Bowl-A-Thon, sponsors will receive an email with their team’s score card for the total amount they owe, as well as a link to donate directly to the Gary Sinise Foundation.

The Gary Sinise Foundation is a tax-exempt, public charity founded by actor Gary Sinise (“Forest Gump.”) The foundation “honors and supports veterans, first-responders, wounded heroes, families of the fallen, and those enduring invisible wounds.”

All contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
