EAST vs. WEST- The Battle of the Boobies is on!
PHILADELPHIA-(Business Wire)-September 28, 2009 - Busted Foundation today announced the national rollout of their highly successful breast cancer fundraiser, Bowling for Boobies, to sister city Philadelphia. The official Philadelphia event will be held simultaneously with the Los Angeles event on Tuesday, October 27 at Strikes Bowling Lounge in downtown Philadelphia. The event will help raise money to support local women dealing with financial devastation as a result of breast cancer.
This Philadelphia event is the first of a national rollout with more cities to be announced next year. Bowling for Boobies, the trademarked breast cancer event produced by Busted Foundation, is currently in its fifth year.
The proceeds raised from Bowling for Boobies help Busted Foundation provide monetary assistance to local women experiencing financial challenges as the result of fighting and living with breast cancer. Donations go directly to support these women who are overwhelmed with medical bills and their ongoing treatment.
Bowling for Boobies asks bowlers to organize teams of six people who raise a team goal of $6,000 (or $1,000 per person) for women who are fighting breast cancer. On October 27, 2009 (7:00pm - 10:00pm) all of the teams come together to submit their contributions and bowl at Strikes Bowling Lounge, Philadelphia. Teams and individuals are eligible for prizes in this high energy, incredibly colorful and outrageous social event. Raffle tickets and prizes will also be available.
“Bring it on sister!” said Christina Fanning, Event Chairperson of Bowling for Boobies Philadelphia. “I love a little competition and I cannot think of a better way to bring awareness and support to the many women who are fighting the tough fight of breast cancer.” Those not in the area who wish to contribute are encouraged to make a direct donation of any amount online via the Web site, www.bowlingforboobies.com and receive event updates via Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/bowling4boobies.
All told, prior Bowling for Boobies events have raised almost $164,000 to benefit women fighting breast cancer.
