Bowl for Kids' Sake

It might sound cheesy 🧀, but thank YOU for making Bowl for Kids' Sake 2023 - The Ope Bowl such a success! Thanks to your fundraising efforts, we were able to raise nearly $100,000 to support youth mentoring relationships.

287 bowlers visited Parkway Lanes in Fond du Lac between March 3 and 4 to take part in our largest annual fundraiser. There were special appearances by some of our favorite Wisconsin sports icons, raffles, entertainment, food, drinks, costume contests, prizes, and more.
