On, Feb. 6, there will be 900 bowlers representing various businesses, social service agencies and local government, competing in a unique and special fundraising event: SuperBowl-A-Thon 19.
The event benefiting the Westside Coalition takes place at Bowlmor Lanes in Santa Monica from 9:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. This bowling marathon of eight consecutive sessions will bring the private and public sectors together with local social service agencies and the faith community to raise funds for programs focused on the eradication of hunger and homelessness on the Westside of Los Angeles.
Community leaders scheduled to bowl include Assemblymember Richard Bloom, State Senator Ben Allen, Santa Monica Mayor Kevin McKeown, Santa Monica Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks, Santa Monica Fire Chief Scott Ferguson, members of Santa Monica City Council, Santa Monica College President Dr. Chui Tsang, Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Superintendent Sandra Lyon and Board members plus bowlers from faith, business and nonprofit organizations.
Proceeds from SuperBowl-A-Thon 19 benefit the Westside Coalition, formerly the Westside Shelter & Hunger Coaliiton.
"This is a wonderful event for a great cause and we are pleased to have the widespread participation and support of the business community," said Lynne Thomas (The Lobster), co-chair of the event.
