Bowl a Few Frames.
Feed a Few
Hundred.
The GWIM Bowl-a-Thon is a team-based bowling fundraiser that ran for 5 years. Currently on hold, it remains one of our favorite community traditions and we hope to bring it back.

Bowl & Celebrate
Show up, have fun, and know that every frame you bowl helps feed a neighbor in Greater Waterbury.
