Rim Bowling & Entertainment Center resounded with the clank of bowling balls and laughter from the 15 lanes of teams who were “bowling for education” on April 14. The Rim of the World Educational Foundation was able to once again hold its fun-filled bowling fundraiser after a hiatus due to the pandemic and Snowmageddon.
With the moniker “Bowling, Beatniks and Bell Bottoms,” the event drew bowlers sporting costumes ranging from beatnik black to tie-dyed hippies.
The prize for Best Team Costume was hotly contested. Judges Jeff Perlis and Sara Green called up three teams and had the audience applaud for their favorite. While the silver bowling pin trophies were awarded to Too Legit to Split, even those bowlers thought they rightfully belonged to the Bodacious Beatniks (everyone admired their berets).
The bowling pins had been donated by Rim Bowling owner Jody Glaviano and were painted and decorated by Rim Ed board members.
The top-scoring team – with a total score of 769 – was Sock It to Me.
While bowling, the participants fortified themselves with pizza and salad. They also enjoyed tunes spun by DJ Frank Pirolo.
The funds raised will help underwrite the three programs sponsored by Rim Ed: AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination), CTE (Career Technical Education) classes and Partnerships with Education awards to the seven schools in the Rim of the World Unified School District.
