Participant bowls for a chance to win money for SVU and for herself.
On March 28th, Ruby’s Arcade celebrated their two-year anniversary by hosting their first ever Strike-a-Thon fundraiser for SVU! Those who came out had the opportunity to play games, bowl strikes, eat pizza, and watch the main event of the night: bowling strikes for money. Participants purchased one $10 ticket for 4 balls to bowl down each lane with hopes of getting strikes. Prizes included pizza vouchers, $75 to SVU, $100 to SVU and $100 to participants, and $250 for SVU and $250 for participants if they bowled 4 strikes during their turn. We had over 40 participants and sold 56 tickets (some participants bowled more than once), which meant 56 Continues next page…

We raised over $500 from ticket sales and individual donations. Ruby's Arcade also donated $140 after Chris Howdyshell, Ruby's Arcade Manager, offered to donate $20 for every pin he dropped in one roll. This put us over $700 for the night! All the proceeds will be supporting our Financial Aid Scholarships and club operations.
Guests enjoyed Ruby’s games, which were free for the night.
We would like to give a special thanks to Ruby’s Arcade’s owners and staff for hosting the event, as well as Chris Howdyshell for making the event possible. Most importantly, we would like to thank all the families, coaches, team managers, players, and public for coming out and supporting SVU! Our SVU staff had a great time watching the event unfold, and we hope you had a great time, as well! SVU Soccer: Builds communities, develops leaders, inspires dreams.
