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.
