JULY
28, 2009 --
Homegrown bands Flobots and The Fray are thrilled to announce the
first annual Bring it on Bowling Ball, coming to Lucky Strike Lanes
in Belmar on Friday, September 4. No ordinary fundraiser, this
evening of fun, food, cocktails and gaming will be topped by a
no-holds barred celebrity bowl-off to determine who really rules the
lanes in D-Town.
Proceeds benefit Flobots.org, a non-profit organization that works to
create positive change by harnessing the power of music and those who
love it. Inspired by the energy and enthusiasm of Flobots fans,
Flobots.org develops community engagement among thousands of young
people across the country: From leading voter registration drives to
planning community gardening and school art programs, Flobots.org
equips young people to be leaders, builders and changemakers.
