Bowling For Childhood Blindness
An Aniridia Foundation International Charity Event
Registration information
BACKGROUND:
Aniridia is a genetic eye disease / birth defect made up of conditions
such as glaucoma, cataracts, corneal scarring, low vision, blindness, and
in some children diabetes, learning disabilities, Wlims tumor (a canerous
tumor of the kidney before age 8 yrs old) and retardation. Although these
conditions are commonly found in the general population, It is uncommon
to be born without developed eye structures such as the optic nerve, retina
or iris, and to have all or most of the conditions listed above in one
child. It is a definite challenge to live for the rest of their lives with
these issues.
Bowl for Childhood Blindness is an annual event and is one of the two
charity events going on Saturday, Aug 1, 2009. (Golf for Childhood
Blindness scramble is the other). Registration costs of this event will
include 3 games of bowling, shoes, prizes, followed by the "Make a
Miracle" charity dinner and an evening of fun, raffles, silent
auction items and music.
After bowling, we will all meet back at the Hilton Indian Lakes Resort
(1 mile away) where we will join the participants of the GOLF for
Childhood Blindness event for our cocktail hour / charity dinner. AFI
hotel guests without cars will be shuttled to and from Brunswick Zone in
Roselle, IL.
Prizes:
We will be awarding some prizes for best team name, best team themed
outfit, high series in group and others. Be creative and have fun.
