NILES – More than 100 local bowlers are expected to knock down pins and knock out breast cancer with the Niles USBC WBA at the Bowl for the Cure event on Saturday, Feb.17. The event will be held at Joey Armadillo's Bowling Center, located at 2732 S. 11th St. in Niles from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
This year, local bowlers hope to raise more than $1,000 to contribute to Bowl for the Cure, a year-round fundraising and awareness initiative organized by the United States Bowling Congress in support of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Bowlers around the United States organize tournaments, bowl-a-thons, raffles, auctions and more each year to support Bowl for the Cure. Over the last five years, Bowl for the Cure has raised almost $4 million!
