The Bowl-A-Thon is the only fundraiser that supports the Ferndale Youth Assistance summer camp program. The camp program strives to provide youth in our community with full scholarships to attend overnight camp at Camp Skyline and day camp opportunities through the Gerry Kulick Center and Pleasant Ridge Community Center. The more money we raise, the more camp scholarships we provide to the kids in our school district.

The 2009 Bowl-A-Thon will occur in November at Luxury Lanes in Ferndale from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The date is TBA. The committee will need a great deal of help finding sponsors and bowlers to make this event even more successful then last year. Every bowler will receive door prizes, plenty of food and lots of laughs with fellow bowlers. Luxury Lanes provides us with a great venue and are very accommodating to all of our needs. The monies we raise at this event, truly impacts the youth in our community and helps create memories to last a life time. Last year we raised almost $7,000, and we hope to double this amount in 2009 If you are interested in volunteering please contact Jerry Olli at (248) 542-2626 or by e-mail at jerryoelk@comcast.net
