Northwest Assistance Ministries to host bowl-a-thon fundraising event Aug. 5-6

Northwest Assistance Ministries will be hosting a bowl-a-thon fundraiser Aug. 5-6 at iTZ Family Food & Fun, located at 183555 Hwy. 249, Houston. The local nonprofit is looking to the community to help it meet itd goal of raising $25,000.

Based in Spring, NAM is a local nonprofit with a goal of meeting basic human needs through a "neighbors helping neighbors" philosophy. The organization provides assistance in the forms of food, shelter, health and education.

This upcoming bowl-a-thon is part of NAM's Survival Over Summer fundraising campaign. According to NAM, families and seniors tend to have more expenses over the summer, and the money raised from this campaign will go to helping provide much-needed services to those in need.

According to NAM, each team will comprise five players, and participants can register as a team for $150 or as an individual for $50. Registration includes two games, shoes and bowling balls.

Each player must raise a minimum of $50, and a fundraising page will be set up after registration. A tier list of prizes is available for participants who raise a certain amount of money.

The top individual fundraiser will get their pick of a Nintendo Switch or Beats headphones. The top team fundraiser will get a team party for 25 at iT’z.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available. For more information about the upcoming event, click here.
