Bowling for Camp AsthmaCadabra
Successful Fundraiser

 

Wilkes-Barre ---  As her senior project, Casey Phillips recently held the “Bowling for Camp AsthmaCadabra” at Chacko's Family Bowling Center, 195 N. Wilkes-Barre Blvd., Wilkes-Barre.              

Camp AsthmaCadabra is an overnight camp for children who have asthma.  The camp is a joint effort of the Max and Lorraine Foundation and the American Lung Association.  The camp is fully staffed (24 hours a day) with doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, respiratory therapists, camp counselors, and volunteers.  Camp AsthmaCadabra is for boys and girls ages 7-12 who might otherwise be denied a summer camping experience because of their asthma. 

Nearly $500 was raised and over 50 bowlers participated in the event which included bowling, shoe rental, pizza and soda.  Proceeds will benefit Camp AsthmaCadabra 2011.
