STAFF at a Wessex Garage dealership in Bristol have organised a 24 hour bowl-a-thon to raise money for charity.
Organised by Wessex Garages on Pennywell Road, the event will take place on Hollywood Bowl at Avonsmead, St Phillips Marsh from November 7 to November 8, in aid of Penny Brohn Cancer Care.
Digital sales executive, Adam Davis, said: ‘We are very excited about the bowl-a-thon. Our aim is to ten-pin bowl for 24 hours.
‘There will be four teams taking part – we have a Wessex Garages’ team, Penny Brohn staff and volunteers’ team, Hollywood Bowl team and hopefully a local celebrity and sportsmen team.’
He added: ‘We hope lots of people come down to support us and donate as much as they can to Penny Brohn Cancer Care. It is such a worthy local cause – we aim to raise at least £2,000 for the charity.’
Hollywood Bowl has said it will also donate a trophy to the winning team.
Corporate and Community Fundraiser at Penny Brohn Cancer Care, Emma Smith, said: ‘We are so excited to be taking part in the bowl-a-thon. It is such a fantastic idea for a fundraiser and we would like to thank Wessex for organising it.’
