Bowling for dollars

Education, safety and wellness are on the minds of the Waterloo Optimist Club in southern Illinois.  They recently donated $1,800 to furnish a computer lab at Ss. Peter & Paul Catholic School and develop a wellness program in the Waterloo School District.  The money was proceeds from the annual Bowling Tournament.

This is the second story that I've heard recently that demonstrates what you might do with a bowling tournament.  Do you have a project that's different from the norm?  Please tell us about it.
