Rock for Hunger’s 2nd Annual Bowl for Hunger

Rock for Hunger will be making immense changes to this year’s bowl-a-thon, making the 2nd Annual Bowl for Hunger the first ever fundraiser at Boardwalk Bowl Entertainment Center to include live bands, with performances from JamesPete, ONE31, Oh Romeo! , and Mayday! Cried the Captain. The 2nd Annual Bowl for Hunger is being held in the UCF area, in a much bigger venue than last year’s with 80 lanes, two bars, restaurant, min-golf, and arcade, in hopes of expanding the fundraiser and raising more money than ever towards Rock for Hunger’s Dreams Center.

This year, on Saturday, April 10th 2010, Rock for Hunger is hosting its Second annual Bowl-A-Thon presented by Vamp Hair Studio at Boardwalk Bowl in Orlando, FL at 3 p.m. Activities also include:

· Raffles of signed merchandise by several artists, such as Tegan and Sara, Santigold, Iron and Wine, Jack’s Mannequin, and more!
· Raffles of gift certificates from Natura, Sam Ash, Etho’s Vegan Kitchen, College Park Yoga, and more!
· Rock Band Tournament
· The bowling tournament with a grand prize of four tickets to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and a basketball signed by Orlando Magic’s power forward Rashard Lewis!

Tickets will be available online at Event Brite, the price for individuals being $15 or $40 for a team of 4, through someone from Rock for Hunger, or can be purchased the day of the event. Pre-sold tickets are recommended!

Guests also have the opportunity to enter the raffles free of purchase with a donation of travel-sized hygienic products, such as, foot powder, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, toothbrushes, disposable razors, or a pair of men’s tube socks. These items will be donated to Lovebags (http://www.lovebags.org/) in order to provide the homeless with daily necessities they normally go without.

Rock for Hunger’s goal for this year’s bowl-a-thon is to raise over $1,000 towards founding the Dreams Center. This is a new year with new history being made, so be a part of the spirit of change by giving back to your community. Come out and join the fun to make a difference and support Rock for Hunger’s efforts in spreading awareness about homelessness and poverty in Central Florida through music and peace!
