Thanks to your incredible support and participation from near and far, we raised $58,000 at Bowlapalooza 2026!

Whether you joined us as a bowler, volunteered your time, sponsored a team, purchased quilt raffle tickets, or supported the SBMF in any way — we are truly grateful.

Every contribution, big or small, helped make Bowlapalooza 2026 a meaningful and memorable celebration of Sam’s life and legacy.

Proceeds from Bowlapalooza 2026 directly support the Samuel Bell Memorial Foundation’s ongoing efforts, including youth scholarships, bike safety programs, and community restoration projects across Chicagoland.

🎉SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT🎉

Sam had a way of bringing people together — with joy, laughter, and a heart that truly loved celebrating life.

Fun fact: One of Sam's favorite things in the world was a good parade. Did you know!?

This year, we’re honored to launch a very special raffle in support of the Sam Bell Memorial Foundation — and it’s one that’s filled with meaning, love, and legacy.

😎 Purchase a Raffle Ticket for a Chance to Win:

“I Love a Parade” (40” x 40”)

"A beautiful handmade quilt created to celebrate Sam’s love for parades and our nation’s 250th birthday."

And here’s what makes it even more special… this quilt was lovingly made by Sam’s AMAZING mom, who is not only an incredible force of strength and love, but also a truly talented quilt maker.

🎟️ Quilt Raffle Tickets 🎟️
$25 each (or) bundle 5 tickets for $100

🎉 100% of proceeds support:
✔️ Youth scholarships
✔️ Bike safety programs in Chicago
✔️ Community restoration projects throughout Chicagoland

This is a meaningful way to support Sam’s mission — whether you’re near or far.
