More than 500 dedicated bowlers will gather for the 24th annual Lutherbrook Bowl-A-Rama on Saturday, Feb. 12 and Sunday, Feb. 13 at the Stardust Bowl in Addison.
Bowling takes place both days from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. and 2:45 to 4:45 p.m., providing an afternoon of fun while helping Lutherbrook youth.
Scheduled to be among the bowlers on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. are Addison Mayor Larry Hartwig, Deputy Mayor Rich Veenstra and Village Trustees Tom Hundley and Bill Lynch.
Lutherbrook Child and Adolescent Center provides specialized residential treatment for youth, age 7-18 with severe emotional or behavioral difficulties due to trauma from previous abuse and neglect. These adolescents come to Lutherbrook to receive individualized therapy in a compassionate, nurturing and stable environment. It is through this care that they are able to heal, grow and reach their full potential.
