The 15th Annual Garden Bowl
Saturday
January 28th, 2012
Uncle
Sam Lanes, Troy, NY - 3:00pm-6:00pm
When it's
January in upstate New York
that means it's time to:
1.
Hibernate
2. Shovel snow
3. Change the TV channel
4. Go bowling
Go bowling is the correct
answer!
As
a matter of fact, go bowling at The Garden Bowl. Each winter
supporters of CDCG gather at Uncle Sam Lanes in Troy
to raise funds for CDCG's urban greening and gardening programs. Join us
this year!
At
our last Bowl-a-thon, well over 100 bowlers came out for a great time and
to support CDCG. They raised an unprecedented $8,000 which helped support
our greening and growing programs around the Capital District. 
Prizes
are given to all bowlers who raise $30 (minimum of $25 to participate)– and the more you raise the better the prize choice!
We offer great incentive prizes for both teams and individuals who
participate. Special prizes are given for the top fundraiser and
fundraising team, as well as for the highest bowling scores. The Top
Fundraising team (which in the past has raised $1,000) receives tickets to
a local sporting event.
Teams
from past years include: Architecture +, Troy Schools, Community Resource
Federal Credit Union, and the Department of Environmental Conservation.
Prizes
from past years have been donated by local businesses such as: Troy Savings
Bank Music Hall, Honest Weight Food Coop, The Book House of Stuyvesant
Plaza, Jose Malone's, BJ’s, Madison Theater, Hewitt’s Garden Centers,
Cracker Barrel, Albany Devils, Spectrum Theatre, and numerous area ski
centers.
