The History of the Bowlathon

The Hidden Acres Bowlathon was born out of necessity during the expansion project in 1983. Harold Leis brought the idea to the fundraising committee as a way to raise funds for capital projects. The first event was held in 1984, raising $7500. Harold had faith that the event would raise $25,000 some year and it has met and surpassed that dream with over $972,000 being raised since then. The event, held in the spring, continues to bring out an energetic crowd of dedicated Hidden Acres supporters bolstered by the pledges they have received.
