Bowling is back

AURELIUS - Until 2001, the local Big Brothers/Big Sisters chapter held a Bowl for Kids' Sake fundraiser each year, in which area residents would bowl a game for charity and receive pledges to benefit the organization.

But after the Auburn YMCA-WEIU took over the mentoring program and it became known as “Y Pals,” the bowling fundraisers were discontinued.

On Sunday, the pins at Starlite Lanes were once again flying for a good cause, as the YMCA held its inaugural bowl-a-thon to raise money for its various youth programs.
