Girls bowling is holding their annual team fundraiser at the Brunswick Zone bowling alley on Saturday in order to help fund the club.

“I’m really excited because it’s a time where our team comes together to raise money for bowling,”  Amanda Tarlos, junior bowler, said. “[We] try to get as many people as we can to come and bowl and have a good time [while they] help us raise money.

Every year, for the last past 13 years, girl’s bowling has wanted to improve their fundraising because it directly helps the team, according to Tarlos.

“[The money] goes towards the team’s needs. We can buy shirts for the team, or if we want to go for breakfast before a tournament; basically anything that the team would need,” Tarlos said.

This annual fundraiser is usually successful, according to  Becky Mnichowicz, sophomore bowler.

“We make around $300-$500 every year,” Mnichowicz said. “We usually have enough to buy sweatshirts and team shirts.”

Anyone who wants to bowl from 7pm to 12am pays $13, and approximately $5 are donated to girls bowling. The number of people who come to support the team by bowling will play a big part in the fundraiser, Mnichowicz said.

But bowling is not the only way a person can help raise money for the team.

“[Participating in this event will] also be fun because we raffle off gifts that we bring in to give to people, which is another fun way to raise money,” Tarlos said.
