Still have lots of tickets left. $125 gets you a lane for 5 bowlers with 3 games each, or simply 15 games a lane. All the help is appreciated. Want to send some young people off to school with some extra funds. Thanks for all the support we have received!!!

A D.A.E. To Smile is back at it again. Today we announce our next event, The School DAE Scholarship Bowling Fundraiser, to be held Saturday December 6th at Old Orchard.

After much consideration we have decided to redirect our fundraising efforts to provide some scholarships in Daniel’s name. As many of you know it was six years ago today that we lost one of the brightest lights that ever shined, so it just feels right to roll this out today. Please come out and show your support and help us celebrate the life of Daniel. There are many ways to help and donate from buying a lane for bowlers, sponsoring lanes, raffle tickets, auctions, etc. Your donations will help cover tuition costs, room & board, books and technology for new college students.

If anyone has any questions please reach out to me at [email protected] Another big thanks all the way around to everyone that made the last event a huge success. Hope to see you there!!! HEAD UP.
