Helps Area Youth at Bowlapalooza

With over 200 community supporters, TrueNorth’s annual bowling fundraiser, Bowlapalooza, successfully raised needed funds for TrueMentors last month. All funds raised will facilitate the connection of local youth with positive role models through the program’s three areas: Community Mentoring, TrueBlue Academy and Parks in Focus.

Community support included sponsors, bowlers and donors. Altogether the event raised over $24,000 for the program. To celebrate the fundraising efforts of supporters, TrueNorth held bowling at Fremont Lanes for 11 different teams, totalling nearly 100 bowlers between the two nights. Luci Moore of Gerber Life Insurance was the top fundraiser of the event, raising $900 total for TrueMentors.

“Thank you to everyone who participated in and supported Bowlapalooza,” says TrueNorth Youth Mentoring Specialist, Serena Lafferty. “You are making a difference in local youths’ lives, and we wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the support from all of you.”

Bowlapalooza would not have been possible without the generous support from our lead sponsor Leinenkugel’s, and from our additional sponsors: Ed’s Orchard Market, Gerber Federal Credit Union, Gerber Life Insurance, Hi-Lites Graphics, Hoaglin Electric, Magna Mirrors, Murray Lumber & Supply, Nieboer Electric, Par-Vox Technology, Tire Wholesalers and Wolff Builders.
