Sparing no expense: YMCA event aims to strike out youth membership costs
BUTLER TWP — Carol Kraus and Pat Micire live in Cranberry Township and Wexford, respectably, and don’t consider themselves bowlers, despite staying physically active at the YMCA.
But Sunday afternoon the two traveled to Butler, slipped into bowling shoes and took to the lanes at the Family Bowlaway Fubn Center to help the Butler YMCA’s Reach & Rise children’s program.
As members of the YMCA, Kraus and Micire have seen its benefits, especially for youth.
“We would do anything to support the kids,” Kraus said.
Bowl for the Kids is a recurring fundraiser for the Butler YMCA, and Sunday was the 28th annual event.
