On Thursday, March 26th Pro-Choice bowlers from across the metro area converged on Bryant Lake Bowl to have fun and raise money and awareness for reproductive rights. With your help and support, we raised $51,466 this year making it the highest grossing Bowl-a-Thon ever!

PCR would like to thank all of those who donated and participated in this years event. We couldn't have done it without you.

Do you have some suggestions for next year? We'd love to hear from you. Please take five minutes to fill out our short survey, so we can make next year even better.

Bowlers-don't forget to thank your donors. One team, The Plan Bees, makes their own postcards, which we have made available here as an example. It's a great way to say thanks by keeping it personal.

Below is a short photo montage of the evening. You can also view some great video clips and team photos are now available for download!


 

Bowlers, if you still have some donations to turn in, please send them to
PCR 250 3rd Ave. North,
Suite 625
Minneapolis, MN 55401.
