JANESVILLE, WI- It’s not often you see competing businesses and community members work together for a common goal, but every year since 2003 that’s exactly what happens during the CMN Bowl-A-Thon.
The South Central Chapter of Credit Unions (SCCCU) recruited approximately 12 teams to participate in the 10th Annual Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Bowl-A-Thon and Silent Auction fundraiser on February 2nd. We are pleased to announce that together we raised a total of $10,832.76 for CMN. Our gratitude goes to the sponsors, participants and volunteers that made this possible.
A portion of the monies raised were by the bowlers themselves as they asked friends and family to contribute pledges for the cause. Kristy Benedetti from Blackhawk Community Credit Union was our top fundraiser collecting more than $1,400.
The fun didn’t end at bowling. Throughout the day bowlers participated in 50/50 raffles and door prize raffles. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the Bowl-A-Thon, Silent Auction and Raffles go directly to the Children’s Hospital for the treatment of children with all types of afflictions, including cancer, accidents, muscle and heart disease, AIDS, cystic fibrosis and trauma.
Next year’s event will take place on Saturday, February 1st at Blackbridge Bowling Alley in Janesville. We hope to see you there!
