BC3 alumni to host bowling fundraiser Nov. 8
BUTLER TWP — Participants in Butler County Community College’s upcoming sixth Bowling for Scholars night out can win a Terry Bradshaw-autographed poster, Pittsburgh Penguins tickets and cash prizes.
The event will help the school’s Alumni Association raise money to fund BC3 scholarships for grandchildren or children of former BC3 students.
“Anyone can bowl,” said Michelle Jamieson, a 1984 BC3 graduate and associate director of the BC3 Education Foundation. “We have 2-year-olds throwing balls. We have 85-year-olds throwing balls.
“What I like about Bowling for Scholars is that it’s a family event, an evening where family members can get out, have fun and enjoy themselves while helping the initiatives of BC3.”
Bowling for Scholars will be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 8 at Family Bowlaway Fun Center, 540 Fairground Hill Road.
The cost for unlimited bowling and shoe rental is $25 per bowler and $15 for students with identification.
Those interested in reserving a lane should contact Mikayla Moretti by calling 724-287-8711 Ext. 8326 or by emailing mikayla.moretti@bc3.edu. Participants who register by Oct. 30 will receive a gift at the event.
Bowling for Scholars in 2018 attracted a record 114 participants and raised $11,280 to support BC3’s Alumni Legacy. Jamieson said the scholarships are available to grandchildren or children of former students who have earned at least 30 credits at BC3, Jamieson said.
Pizza, potato chips and soft drinks are included in the cost.
