Over 160 players packed Family Bowlaway Fun Center on Sunday, March 26, to “Bowl for Butler” and support Butler Downtown.

According to Audrianna Bly, president of Butler Downtown, the second annual Bowl for Butler helped raise funds for the organization’s many community events.

Last year, she said, it was their biggest fundraiser, bringing in just under $10,000.

“We’re hoping to raise more than that,” Bly said. “Then all the funds go back down to community events in Butler Downtown — either different events we’re working on or different initiatives to help the community.”

The crowded bowling alley was sold out, with teams of six at all 28 lanes laughing, dancing and, of course, bowling.
