Enjoy an evening of fun, fitness and snacks while supporting an orphanage and education centre in Africa.
On Saturday, March 3, supporters of the Shiloh Place Orphanage which is located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, will be hosting a Funbowl evening at PoCo Bowl in Port Coquitlam.
Shiloh Place founder Chantal Kasongo, who lives in Coquitlam, said a number of community members have stepped up to help with the project and Funbowl is fundraiser to provide furnishings and books for Shiloh Place’s recently completed community/building chapel.
“Their interest and energy mean a lot to the children we care about in Africa,” said Kasongo in a press release.
With doors opening at 8:30 p.m., the evening includes 5-pin bowling, starting at 9 p.m., snacks, prizes, a no-host bar and more.
People can bring a ready-made team of five bowlers or will be introduced to a team and new friends.
