“Bowling over Illiteracy”
Lucky Strikes has graciously donated all of the lanes for our group. The cost is $15 per person (purchase tickets in advance through paypal below) which includes bowling shoes, 2 hours of bowling and chips and salsa. Proceeds will be donated to the charitable organization ReadBoston, an organization founded by Mayor Menino in 1995. Read Boston, a Boston Redevelopment Authority program, is dedicated to having all Boston-area children reading on grade level by the time they have completed the third grade. The program focuses on three core elements: competence of reading programs in schools, family involvement in a child's literacy, and the availability of books and literacy instruction in after-school programs. See: http://www.bostonredevelopmentauthority.org/ReadBoston/JCSRB.asp. Everyone who wears Syracuse Orange will receive a raffle ticket for great SU prizes. We encourage alumni to also bring new or used books as additional donations – which will earn you an additional raffle ticket!
