The community is invited to participate in a fund raising Bowl-A-Thon to be held Saturday March 19, 2011 at AMF Cerritos Lanes, 18810 Carmenita Road, with registration starting at 12 noon. The Bowl-A-Thon benefits the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion from Camp Pendleton that was “adopted” by the City of Cerritos in November of 2007.
Entry fee is $25.00 per bowler which includes 2 games of bowling, rental shoes, ball, and “goody bag”. Business owners may also support this fundraiser by sponsoring a lane for either $50.00 or $25.00. Their business name will be displayed on a sign mounted on the scoring machine on one of the lanes, as well as on a handout distributed to all participants. In addition, the names of all businesses, donors, and supporters will be prominently displayed on a large poster at the registration table for all to see.
Non bowlers may help sponsor a Marine to bowl with a financial donation. Clubs, groups, friends and families may form their own teams. Space is limited so please call early to sign up and reserve your lane.
For information, please call Laurie Forward at 562-926-5971 or Joanne Witt at 562-860-2036.
All proceeds benefit the Marines of the 1st CEB and their families. The Cerritos 1st CEB Adoption Committee ships care packages filled with “comfort items” not readily available to the Marines deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Donations to the Wounded Warriors fund are also made in honor of those members of the 1st CEB who have been lost in combat. Each month a Meritorious Marine is honored with a proclamation from the city and provided with an entertaining weekend in Cerritos. The Cerritos 1st CEB Adoption Committee also helps sponsor the annual 1st CEB Family Day Picnic and the “welcome home” ceremony for the returning members of the 1st CEB and their families.
Come and show your support for the fine young men and women who serve our country with honor, integrity and valor.
