 
Grand Prix New York (GPNY), the area’s leading indoor entertainment and team-building venue, will host its 2nd, overnight fundraising bowling event beginning January 24, 2015 at 9:00 am to benefit the Fox Lane Sports Booster Club (FLSBC). The Bowl-a-Thon will span a full 24-hour period, using all 19 lanes at SpinsBowl inside GPNY. The Bedford Central School District’s (BCSD) Board of Education and the FLSBC will organize and coordinate teams. Over 700 community members attended last year’s Bowl-a-thon as participants or spectators.
The Bowl-A-Thon is sponsored by Grand Prix New York, and local entities including Bradsell Painting and Carpentry, Bedford Hardware, Mt. Kisco Sports and Pro-Swing. The event will feature various competitions, prizes and theme. Attendees will enjoy live music and DJ entertainment.
Additional sponsorship is needed from local businesses to provide food, beverages, awards, and more. Individual participants or teams can be sponsored by pledges for every hour bowled. The FLSBC seeks to raise over $75,000. Proceeds will help assist the Gallagher family, whose son Emmet, a Fox Lane senior, suffered a spinal cord injury last summer, and help pay to renovate the Fox Lane Middle School, Athletic Shelter. The FLSCB is calling on the Bedford Central School District community to participate either as a bowler or sponsor.
“This will be the forth fundraiser, included second 24 hour event, we’ve held for the Fox Lane Boosters in recent years,” said GPNY Vice President Nat Mundy. “If there’s one way that makes sense to give back, it’s by investing in our local school districts and encouraging other businesses to step up and do the same. The Bowl-A-Thon should be a lot of fun, and it’s for a great cause.”
