Bowl-A-Thon Postponed

by midwestpagestop...
Due to the short timespan to prepare for this fundraiser and the opportunity to collaborate with other local groups, the Bowl-A-Thon fundraiser will not be happening this Saturday, April 5, but will instead be postponed until a later date.  Please continue to collect donations if you would like to participate, or contact us if you would like to sponsor a bowler.

For more information about the bowl-a-thon and for information and donation forms, please see http://pagestoprisoners.org/node/68
