✨ What an unforgettable day! ✨
❤️ Gateway to the Heart’s, 1st Annual Bowling Tournament 🎳 was more than just a fundraiser—it was a celebration of community, connection, and ❤️heart. Because of YOU, we didn’t just raise funds… we created smiles, laughter, and lasting memories for the children of Yuma and our Backpack to Success program. 💛
With 37 out of 40 lanes filled, the energy in the room was incredible, new friendships were formed, families grew stronger, and our Yuma community showed exactly what it means to come together for a purpose bigger than ourselves. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our amazing sponsors:🎳 Strike Sponsors: ALLO Fiber Arizona, Yuma Electric Service, and EcoEnergy Solutions, 🎳 Spare Sponsors: Blue Streak Signs, Specialty Electric and Specialty Sewing Shades
Thanks to our lane sponsors, raffle donors, and every single person who helped spread the word, your generosity and support made this event truly special.
A HUGE shoutout to our Raider Nation family from West Valley, Raider Rock (Phoenix), The Black Hole Yuma and Yuma, you continue to show up, stand strong, and support every step of the way. (Raider Eclipse 🩶) We see you, and we appreciate you! 🖤🩶🖤
Special Thank you to Inca Lanes, Lance, Bob and crew for helping run the event and donating that day to our fundraiser! Jeff and Chris Stoner, Alma and Fernando Zavala, The Vero Zavala Crew, Eduardo Valladares, Christine Petkovich, Mandy and Logan Mistrel and Melissa Correa for all their extra help.
Whether you sponsored, donated, bowled, or simply cheered us on… you are part of this story. Every act of kindness helped us make a difference. ONE bowler, ONE child at a time.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our mission and helping us give back to the children of our community.
💫 We can’t wait to see you next year for our 2nd Annual Bowling Tournament!📅 And don’t forget, join us July 11th at the Big Curve or Foothills… more details coming soon!
