The Most Fun Fundraiser
We’re excited to announce that Merrick’s Bowl-A-Thon will return to Flaherty’s Arden Bowl on Sunday, April 23, 2023. Referred to as Merrick’s “most fun fundraiser,” the Bowl-A-Thon is a family-friendly and client-focused event in which all ages and bowling abilities are welcome to join us for a fabulously fun morning at our favorite bowling alley.
In addition to being our “most fun” fundraiser, the Bowl-A-Thon also offers the most opportunities to get involved. Individuals and businesses can choose to support our event as a bowler, cheerleader (i.e., non-bowler), pledger, sponsor, in-kind donor, or a volunteer. There’s a way for everyone to get involved.
For assistance, contact Megan Kuneli at 651.789.6207 or MeganK@MerrickInc.org.
