Volunteers are vital to helping us with our annual Bowl-A-Thon fundraising event. We look forward to working with the team at Kohl's every year. The event description is below.

Join us for the 10th annual Kids' Future Bowl-A-Thon, sponsored by A & P Master Images. The event will be held on Friday, April 13, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Pin-O-Rama Lanes in Utica.

Howard Potter, CEO of A & P Master Images, feels the Bowl-A-Thon is a much-anticipated and enjoyed community event.

"The Kid's Future Bowl-A-Thon is more than an event to help raise money for a great cause; it brings everyone together for a fun night out."

For 10 years, The Bowl-A-Thon has helped the children at The House of the Good Shepherd by raising funds to purchase school books, holiday gifts, duffle bags, bowling passes, art supplies, music instruments, computers, field trips, and other recreational activities. Local businesses and families came out for the event to spend an evening bowling while enjoying entertainment like a photo booth, raffles, and a DJ.

The House of the Good Shepherd is a regional provider of treatment services for 770 children and families in need annually. The House operates on 12 sites and offers an increasing number of community-based services.
