A fundraiser for sickle cell anemia research netted sponsors about $1,000 Saturday during a “bowl-a-thon” held at the Brunswick Woodmere Lanes.

Organized by Angela Green and Rebecca Barlow, the event was the third fundraiser by the two in Montgomery in recent months.

“Our goal was to raise at least $1,000, and we’ve been able to do just that,” Green said Saturday afternoon as the event ended. “We’re very happy with the response we’ve received.”

Supporters from as far away as Auburn spent four hours at the facility. A $50 charge for a team of five bowlers drew competitors from throughout the area.

Green said funds from the bowling event, along with another activity last month, will be donated to the Sickle Cell Foundation of Greater Montgomery during Hot 105.7’s radio-thon this afternoon…end MAJ excerpt

GreatNewsMontgomery showed up about halfway through the event to find the party going on strong. Even though we have communicated for a while this  is the first time meeting Angela and Rebecca. They form the team of Brown Shades Media who  produces Happy Hour Talk, which uses a talk show format to discuss relevant community topics.
