We wanted to give a huge shout out to the individuals and companies that have already begun to bring in donations and/or sponsors for a bowling fundraising event for a home for Na'Rael and his family coming up on April 11th.

THANK YOU SO MUCH thus far to:

O'Reilly Auto Parts , John Dill and Angela Diver of Marquette Savings Bank, Vasui Family, Amie Fritz of the Erie Zoo, Relisha Maxwell, Peter Hamilton, Tonya Flowers, Dana Williams, Anna Krupicz, Maria, Vincent and Lucia Goellner, Luis Cortez, Jr., Chris Edith of Brighter Future Foundation, Eileen Williams of Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and Ramona Spain.

Also, thank you, of course, to our wonderful volunteers who have signed up and helped so far: Valerie, Leslie and Dave Sickles, Nancy Fye and Alexa Menosky.

Na’rael is 4-years old and has cerebral palsy. Habitat is designing and building a home for his family with accessibility features and adaptations to make the life of Na’rael safer and more secure. He will have a first-floor bedroom and bathroom designed around his special needs, ensuring ease of care and space for medical devices and equipment.

We invite you to a special Bowling fundraiser on Saturday, April 11 from 12-3 at Greengarden Lanes.

50% of your $25 bowling fee will support Na'real. We are also looking for 24 lane sponsors at $50 each & sponsors for the various winner prizes. Donations of raffle baskets and beer for the beer pyramid. Please email [email protected] or [email protected] for more details.
