Bowling Gives Special Events a New Twist

April 7, 2015 - PRLog -- So your child is about to become a ‘Tweenager’ – too old for little kid stuff and really too young (just don’t tell them that!) for big kid things. How are you going to celebrate? You could take the party to a movie; but have you priced movie tickets or those SUV-sized containers of popcorn that don’t last past the coming attractions?

Maybe you have an eighth- or a twelfth-grader making the big leap from the top of the food chain back to the bottom as a high school or college freshman. How do you celebrate the big event?

The answer: take everyone bowling! It’s a fun activity, everyone can participate – even the chaperones – and your nearby bowling center may well offer packages to fit even the most modest budget.

But that’s just for the kids, right? Wrong! Grown-ups celebrating a birthday, engagement, bachelorette event or anniversary would love a bowling party. It’s different and will be remembered for years.

Looking for a fun fundraiser? Not another bake sale or fancy dress cocktail party but bowling! Keep the tuxes and ball gowns, but let your contributors don bowling shoes instead of patent leather and heels. Many members of the South Eastern Michigan Bowling Centers Association offer fundraising packages that will maximize the amount of funds you raise with a minimum of expense.

When you think of celebrating, raising funds for a charity or just giving back to the community, think about going bowling. Check with one of the members of SEMBCA at www.sembca.com.
