Bowling Event to Benefit Shelter Animals on October 4th

Humane-Society-Calumet-AreaThere’s still time to reserve a lane or sign up to bowl during Humane Society Calumet Area (HSCA)’s first Bark & Bowl fundraiser. This night of crazy, cosmic bowling will be held on October 4 from 8 to 11 p.m. at Plaza Lanes, 8101 Kennedy Ave, Highland, Ind.

The cost is $30 per bowler, which includes three hours of bowling, shoe rental and a dessert bar by Gold Star Café and Catering. Raffle baskets, a 50/50 raffle and a cash bar also will be available. Bowlers can reserve a lane of 6 bowlers for $160, a $20 discount. Spectator tickets are available for $10.

Crazy bowling is bowling with a twist. Each frame presents a different fun challenge for bowlers to try, including bowling with your eyes closed, bowling backwards between your legs or bowling on one foot.

All proceeds benefit the animals of HSCA. HSCA would not exist without the generous support of the community. HSCA is a non-profit organization that does not receive any state or tax dollars. HSCA is funded solely through donations and fundraisers. Funds raised help provide medical care and basic necessities for the animals at HSCA.

Ticket sales are limited. Register online or print a registration form at www.hscalumet.org. Contact Ashley Boyer at 219.513.8911 or aboyer@hscalumet.org for more information about this event.
