HUGS Announces "Bowling for Bulanga" Fundraiser in
Denver
June 19, 2008 - Helping Ugandans Grow Stronger, Inc. (HUGS) is pleased to announce
its latest "Kids Feeding
Kids" cosmic bowling fundraiser that will take place on Sunday, July
13th in the Denver, Colorado area. Entitled "Bowling for Bulanga," the
event promises to be a fun afternoon for the entire family, and a winner for
Ugandan children in need.
The fundraiser will be held from 3pm to 5pm at Brunswick Zone at 945 South Kipling Parkway in Lakewood. Tickets may be purchased online or at the door for $10 each. The admission price includes 2 hours of bowling and shoe rental. The money raised will help fund new housing for at risk children in southern Uganda. HUGS directors will be on-hand to answer questions about the organization and its programs.
"The southern area of Uganda is in need of additional housing for
at risk children", said Victoria Gibson, President of HUGS. "There
are always children ready and waiting for homes. We are grateful
the Kids Feeding Kids program has been successful in helping meet this
need."
"Kids Feeding Kids" is the brainchild of young Sofia, who decided that kids in the U.S. could do something to help kids on the other side of the world. "I just want people to know that one kid can make a difference," Sofia said. Sofia visited Uganda last year to see first-hand how her idea has benefited the children of Uganda. HUGS wishes to express its heartfelt thanks to Sofia and to the many volunteers that helped make this second annual event such a hit!
