12th Annual Bowlathon   ...
 

On Saturday, April 3, 2010 we hosted our 12th Annual Bowlathon to raise financial support for employment and adult day programs serving individuals with disabilities. The event was another huge success.

300 bowlers and another hundred non-bowling guests helped us to raise $42,947 at our 12th Annual Bowlathon on April 3, 2010. Event sponsors included Time Warner Cable, BJ’s Restaurant Foundation, Pacifica Foods, Vogt Resnick Sherak, The Monkey Hook and FCE Benefits. The Time Warner Team that included Erin O’Hara, Sharyn O’Hara, Steve Orr, and Cliff Kagler won their challenge against 4 other Time Warner Teams and Overall First Place for the event. The BJ’s Restaurant Team of Megan Tatum, Jim Farman, Shea Zerkie, Anthony Mejia, and Michael Trong won the gold medal in their challenge group. The Pacifica Foods challenge was won by the team of Joe Preze, Tina Rice, Craig Rice, and Mark Sorenson (Elwyn California Board Chairperson).

In addition to the teams from our sponsors, local Rotary Clubs entered 13 teams in the event and Larry Cassidy, a former Elwyn California board member, brought 12 teams to the event. The Orange Sunrise Rotary Club took first place among all clubs and The Tustin / Santa Ana Club took second place. Winning the Larry Cassidy challenge category was the team of Rich Herrera, Raul Noriega, Joel Venegas, Sean Spurr, and Ernesto Villa from Spec Services.

The Fountain Valley City Council team defeated the FV Fire and Police Department teams. The FV Police Department won their challenge against the Fire Department this year and the Fire Department graciously donated an additional $500 to Elwyn.

Bob Richardson, RWR Marketing & Graphic Design, donated his time and talents to create our event print materials and as our emcee again this year.

We will let everyone know the date for the 2011 Bowlathon as soon as it is set. We sold out this year so make sure to reserve your spot as early as possible for next year. Thanks to one and all for your support.
