PARC to host Bowling Classic on Nov. 17

PLAINVILLE – The public is welcome to register now for PARC’s 16th annual Frank Robinson Sr. Thanksgiving Bowling Classic set for Saturday, Nov. 17, from 4 (registration) to 7 p.m. Participants can choose bowling or mini golf at the fundraiser to be held at Lessard Lanes, 136 New Britain Ave. In 2016, the event was renamed to recognize Robinson, a long-time PARC board member, parent and supporter. This year, PARC is honoring veterans.

The $25 registration fee includes open bowling or mini golf, shoe rental (for bowling), hot dog and soda from Ruthie’s Place, T-shirt and one door prize ticket. People are welcome to register individually or as teams. This is one of PARC’s most popular fundraisers but spots are still available.

PARC, a Plainville-based non-profit, has been providing family centered services for people with developmental disabilities for more than 60 years. The program is open to individuals who live in Plainville and contiguous towns.

“All proceeds directly impact Healthy Living Activities for people with developmental disabilities,” said PARC Executive Director Erica Donovan.
