Memorial Rehabilitation Institute and Memorial Foundation will host the 8th Annual Adaptive Bowl-A-Thon, a fundraiser to underwrite the cost of sports/recreation programming and equipment for the physically-challenged community.
Adaptive athletes overcoming physical disabilities and hardships will compete — alongside their therapists, Memorial Healthcare System representatives, friends, family, and members of the community — in a fun-filled tournament that includes trophies and recognition.
In the past year, proceeds from the most recent bowl-a-thon have assisted with access, transportation, entry fees, and sponsorships for adaptive athletes participating in water aerobics, chair yoga, scuba, wheelchair basketball, and tennis.
The Memorial Rehab Adaptive Sports and Recreation program provides recreational and athletic experiences to those with physical disabilities. Through hard work and determination participants learn that it’s possible to partake in physical activities, exceed expectations, and achieve dreams.
The Memorial Foundation raises funds philanthropically to assist patients, families, and to underwrite the cost of programs, facilities, and equipment within the Memorial Healthcare System (www.mhs.net).

Tickets are $40/per person; includes pizza, soft drinks, and shoe rental.
