Young members invited to participate in charitable bowling event PITTSBURGH - The Fraternal Societies of Greater Pittsburgh will be sponsoring the Fifth Annual Kidz Bowling for Kidz for youth members and their friends ages 5 to 18 on Sunday, Nov. 6, at AMF Mt. Lebanon Lanes in Pittsburgh. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. "As fraternals, we emphasize volunteerism, charitable works and the concept of brotherhood," said George E. Lopata, chair of the event. "And so we thought, what better way to show our youth fraternalism in action than to have them participate in a fun event with youth from a variety of fraternal societies while raising money for children in need?" The event is open to all fraternal society youth members and their nonmembers friends. All participants must have at least $25 in sponsorship pledges in order to enter. There will be no charge for the bowling, and the FSGP will provide food, prizes and commemorative T-shirts. The event will begin at 11:30 a.m. with registration, with bowling starting at 1:00 p.m. Over the last four years, more than 230 children have participated in the event, raising more than $25,000 for Children's Hospital. Individuals, organizations and businesses are invited to participate as sponsors of the event. Those donating $350 or more will have their names added to the commemorative T-shirts and will be recognized throughout the day as event sponsors. However, any amount will be greatly appreciated. Sponsor donations should be made payable to "FSGP" and mailed to Karen Pintar, SNPJ, 247 West Allegheny Road, Imperial, PA 15126. For more information about entering the event or becoming a sponsor, or if you would like to volunteer to help on the day of the event, please call George Lopata at 1-800-722-4428.
