Teams will play three games, and the entry fee also covers shoe rental, a pizza and pop. There will be prizes for the top teams as well as a silent auction, raffles, and opportunities to enter the 50/50 draw.

Teams should have four to six players, and the entry cost is $75 per player. There are also sponsorship opportunities remaining:

  • Lane Sponsorship for $500: Business name will be prominently displayed on a lane.
