Every fall, Paws for Life hosts one of its largest fundraisers of
the year, the annual Halloween Fur Bowl. Costume-clad kids and adults pay $25
each to bowl three games, which includes shoe rental and pizza and pop for
lunch. For 2019, the annual Fur Bowl moves to Astro Lanes in Madison Heights on
Sunday, October 27, starting at noon. Astro Lanes is located at 32388 John R
Rd. in Madison Heights.
“We have always received strong support from the Madison Heights
community,” said Courtney Protz-Sanders, executive director of the non-profit
animal rescue Paws for Life. “Several years ago, we donated canine oxygen masks
to the Madison Heights fire department and our partnership with the city has
only grown from there.”

Paws for Life’s Fur Bowl goes beyond bowling, which means there’s
something for everyone, even non-bowlers. Everyone is welcome to come out and
play the raffles, bid on the silent auction items, enter the Halloween costume
contest for kids and adults (prizes will be awarded), check out the Buy It Now
board and partake in the plethora of goodies in the bake sale.

“We are sweetening the deal this Halloween,” said Protz-Sanders.
“Each ticket purchased in advance of the event will come with a free raffle
ticket.” Those advance ticket purchases can be made at https://2019furbowl.eventbrite.com.

All Fur Bowl proceeds benefit the homeless pets of Paws for Life.
Since Paws for Life has no paid staff and receives no government support, every
penny donated and raised goes directly to the animals in its care.

ReplyDeleteAnything that helps our four legged babies I'm all for.
ReplyDeleteI linked this post to Awww Mondays.
Have a purrfect day, Cody. My best to your brother and your wonderful mom. ♥
As always, YOU are a sweetheart! Thank you!!!! Love you! xoxo
DeleteToo bad I am working that day...but it sounds like fun for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteA few other rescues in the area are having events now too; since I cannot attend, I don't post about them, but perhaps I should!
ReplyDeleteI post for those who send me the information asking if I would post, which is what I did. Most of what I post is either too far away for me to go or I am busy and can't go. I post it to benefit the animals :)
DeleteThat sounds like a fun time and the furries will appreciate the help!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been bowling in forever. That would be fun to do, and for such a great cause. If I lived there, I'd be going! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great event.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful event and a great cause!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea for an event. We hope it is a huge success!
ReplyDeleteSo many kitties! So little time! This event sounds like a lot of fun (or as much fun as one can have when kitty is left at home).
ReplyDeleteA great event coming right up this weekend! Hope everyone has a good time and it's a big success for all the volunteers and the kitties and the puppy dogs~ Tom x
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a wonderful event benefiting animals. I like their philosophy of "do no harm" and "time and money are no reason to put an animal down." Hooray for foster care homes, they are the lifeblood of great organizations such as these. xx
