Everything Warrenville - Mike Hale Homes Real Estate Blog: Warrenville Youth & Family Services Bowl-a-thon

I had a chance to stop by the Warrenville Youth & Family Services Bowl-A-Thon fundraiser on Saturday. It was held at the Bowling Green Sports Center in West Chicago on Roosevelt Ave. This was the 18^th Annual Bowlathon and it looked to be quite a success! I was there during the afternoon session and there were around twenty teams bowling and having a good time. There were also a ton of prizes lined up behind the alleys to be won in the raffle.

I only had a little time to spend there, but I did get to meet some of the WYFS staff and volunteers. They really put on a smooth event and I'll be happy to be involved again next year. I sponsored a lane this year, and chatted and joked with the bowlers on the team that bowled on my lane. I wanted to get a good picture of the signs they made up too. One of my favorite things about being a local Realtor is that I can advertise and get my name out there while still supporting such a great cause. Outreach Community Ministries and the Warrenville Youth & Family Services are doing great things in our community, and we should all show them our support!

My apologies to Barb though, who didn't start out this game so well. At least there were no last names on the scoreboard!

The Warrenville Youth & Family Services is part of Outreach Community Ministries, a Christian community service group in DuPage County. They perform a wide range of charitable, educational, religious and community development activities. WYFS provides services geared towards, you guessed it, families and young people in the Warrenville area. They provide mentoring, and also reach out to the Hispanic community in our area.

You can make donations directly to them, or support the Discoveries Resale Shop at Route 59 & Batavia road. Donate items to be sold there or just find some bargains for your home. All proceeds from Discoveries Resale Shop support Warrenville Youth & Family Services.
