‘Spare’ us your excuse, Come ‘Strike-out Leukemia’
Mt. Prospect, IL – Sunday, July 19th will not be another lazy summer Sunday for the members of the Jessica Shayne Magid Chapter of the Leukemia Research Foundation. That day over 100 volunteers will be hosting their fifth annual fund raising event to benefit Leukemia Research.
Bring your whole family out to this year’s event, a Bowl-a-rama, to be held at the Brunswick Lanes in Mt. Prospect on Sunday July 19th. Participants will have three different ‘flights’ to choose from: 2 family friendly flights that start at 2:30pm and 4:45pm or the Pro Flight starting at 3:00pm for the more serious kingpin. Bowling packages start at just $15 and include food and beverage and all the bowling essentials. Other festivities that day will include a carnival with games and prizes for the kids and a silent auction for the adults.
A 100% volunteer group, the chapter over the last four years major fund raising event was an annual golf event held in Wheeling. In addition to the golf outing that day, they coordinated car washes and silent and live auctions. All their hard work in the past has paid off as they have raised over $100,000 to cure Leukemia!
The organizers were very concerned about the economy and their ability to continue to help fight leukemia. They have completely revamped their major event to be both more family and economy friendly.
With summer having officially started, all should mark their calendars for July 19th for a fun action packed day. The best part about it is your family is sure to have a great time at a reasonable price all while helping to find a cure for Leukemia.
