Bowlers are getting ready to put on their shoes, grab a ball, and strike a blow for pets and their human companions. Bowl-A-Thon is set for Saturday, August 14, 2021 at Manor Lanes at 1517 NE 26th St. in Wilton Manors.

The event is a fundraiser for The Pet Project, which works to keep animals and their humans together when times get tough. Executive Director Sue Martino gave OutClique a look inside the event. “Bowl-A-Thon is one of our largest annual events. Teams compete for trophies and bragging rights and the event is loads of fun.”

The Pub Wilton Manors will host the after party which will include the trophy presentation and picking the winner of a raffle for a 65” smart TV.

Every year thousands of people surrender their animal companions because they become too ill or have financial problems. The Pet Project works to help keep people and pets together and fundraisers like Bowl-A-Thon helps them serve thousands of clients. Martino says this is a good time for a good cause. “You can make a difference in the lives of pets and their humans by supporting our events.”
