NAMI Southwestern Illinois Fun Bowl

Trophies

Besides bowling in hilarious ways, each bowler was given pizza before the end of their third game. Three trophies were handed out after the completion of three games: the male with the highest score was Andy Hellrung; female high score belonged to Michelle Jarnigan; highest team score was won by Keith and Mary Gauen along with their son, and two grandchildren.

Our first Fun Bowl Fundraiser
Saturday, May 21, 2011 at Camelot Bowl in Collinsville, IL

When you entered Camelot, the first thing you noticed was our NAMI Southwestern IL display with information and NAMI balloons on all the lanes. NAMI’s presence was very noticeable. We had lanes 9 through 32 reserved and all but one lane was filled.
