The Tidewater Rotary Club hosted its annual Bowling Fundraiser event on Monday, March 11, at Easton Bowl. This year’s theme, the “World Cup of Bowling,” brought together community members and businesses with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center.
Participants enjoyed an evening filled with strikes, spares, and camaraderie as they bowled for a purpose. Attendees had the opportunity to represent various World Cup countries, donning outfits inspired by their favorite players and nations. The event also featured raffle prizes and awards for top teams, best dressed, and team spirit, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The fundraiser was successful in raising $5000 for the Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center (ChesMRC), an organization dedicated to empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to become successful and engaged members of the community. Through lane sponsorships and donations, attendees contributed to ChesMRC’s mission of fostering a multi-culturally vibrant population on the Eastern Shore.
“The support from our community at events like the Bowling Fundraiser is instrumental in furthering ChesMRC’s initiatives,” said ChesMRC Executive Director Matthew Peters. “We are grateful to the Tidewater Rotary Club and all participants for their generosity and commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion.”
As part of the Tidewater Rotary Club’s ongoing efforts to uphold its motto of “Service Above Self,” the event exemplified the club’s dedication to supporting local organizations and fostering goodwill within the community.
“We are thrilled with the success of this year’s Bowling Fundraiser,” said Tidewater Rotary Club President Childlene Brooks. “The funds raised will make a meaningful difference in supporting the important work of the Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center.”
The Tidewater Rotary Club extends its gratitude to all sponsors, donors, participants, and volunteers who contributed to the success of the event. Together, they exemplified the spirit of giving back and making a positive impact on the community.
