Juniper Lanes hosting Variety Club BC Bowl for Kids
The Ladies Auxiliary to the Fraternal Order of Eagles #3032 in conjunction with the Kootenay ICE and Juniper Lanes will be hosting the annual Variety Club BC Bowl for Kids.
Every January and February, the Variety Club of BC has its annual fundraising campaign, which culminates with the Variety Club Show Of Hearts Telethon on Global TV.
For the past 22 years the Bowling Proprietors Association has been a partner in this effort through raising funds through BC Bowl For Kids, and to date well over $150,000 has been raised and donated from Cranbrook.
There are kids in our area who have received financial help from Variety and there are more who need our help. Locally, Juniper Lanes and the Ladies Auxiliary to the Fraternal Order of Eagles #3032 have joined forces with the Kootenay ICE to host a fun-filled event on January 26, from 1 to 4 p.m. There will be two hours of lazer bowl followed by pizza (donated by Panago) and soft drinks (donated by Selkirk) and of course prizes.
This year we have opened it up to everyone. Put a team together of family and friends, young and old, or just want to individually join in, just drop by Juniper Lanes or The Flower Pot and pick up a pledge form. Participants are asked to raise a minimum of $30 in pledges, and wither will be prizes for the highest pledge earners as well and many other prizes for young and old.
The Variety Club can be found wherever there are children in need. Fundraising capital projects for hospitals and development centers, supporting essential services such as medical treatments, subsidizing the purchase of wheelchairs, Sunshine Coaches (we do have one in Cranbrook), specialized equipment and tools or independent living. Variety has been making a tangible difference in the lives of needy children for more than 40 years, providing them with the means and the hope to flourish and to achieve their full potential.
We invite you to join us in touching the lives of British Columbia’s physically and mentally challenged kids.
Come out and help us raise funds for this worthwhile cause, or if you would like to make a donation you can stop by Juniper Lanes and they will be happy to accept them on behalf of the KIDS.
