He was a three time television finalist, eight time regional PBA champion, PBA Regional Player of the Year 1998, two time NJ All Events Champion, and has 56 perfect games. Morin is excited to give back and looks forward to providing bowling tips and tricks to Employment Horizons’ program participants. Employment Horizons’ own superstar bowler Jane McCarney will also be in attendance. Jane medaled in three bowling events in this year’s Special Olympics.
