Bowlers needed
Hey Folks
We are trying to get those doors open to the youth shelter for unaccompanied homeless youth! One of the ways we continuing this process is through the (MTI Cares) Bowl-A-Thon. If you or anyone you know would like to form a team or sponsor the event or provide a silent auction item…we are looking for any help.
If you could share this information with anyone you think might be willing to help that woudl be great. (PTO, work, family, school, church, friends, roller derby). We gotta get those doors open and we can’t do that until there is enough money to support the operational costs.
There is more information on the MTI website for sponsors and donors.
From the MTI web site:
MTI Cares is planning the 2nd Annual MTI Bowl-A-Thon to benefit Briarpatch Youth Services’ Teen Homeless Shelter. The event will take place on Sunday, April 12, 2015 from 12-3 PM at Dream Lanes in Madison. Last year, with the help of 150 bowlers, countless donors and over 30 business and labor sponsors, MTI members donated over $11,000! We also had a lot of fun and learned some things to improve the event this year.
Once again, we’re looking for sponsorships and donations from local businesses.Check the MTI Website (www.madisonteachers.org) for additional details. Information on joining a team and raising individual funds is also availble.
Here is another link to the page that has information from MTI!
