Please participate if you can!<\/p>\n<p>Join us for the First Annual Zeke Lerner Celebrity Bowl-A-Thon:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nI just wanted to take a minute to make sure everyone knows about the<br \/>\nupcoming First Annual Zeke Lerner Celebrity Bowl-A-Thon. All proceeds will<br \/>\nbenefit Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (FSMA). Zeke and his family will<br \/>\nbe there to support the event. It will be held at Covina Bowl (a Roswell<br \/>\nfilming location) on Sunday, February 16th, 2003 from 12pm to 5pm. It is a<br \/>\nholiday weekend, so most people will have Monday off.<\/p>\n<p>The plan is to have a team of 5 bowlers and 1 celebrity on each lane. There<br \/>\nwill be 3 games, and we are asking the celebrities to join us for at least<br \/>\ntwo. So, as long as we get enough celebrities, each team will bowl with two<br \/>\ndifferent ones.<\/p>\n<p>~We are, of course, inviting all of the Roswell cast, and a number of<br \/>\nRoswell guest stars, as well as other actors, musicians, athletes, and radio<br \/>\nand TV personalities. Right now I am taking tentative confirmations from<br \/>\nthem, just to see who is interested, since it is still a little early for<br \/>\nmost of them to know what their schedules will be like. So, we can\u2019t<br \/>\nguarantee anybody at this time. But, I do think it is something that a lot<br \/>\nof people will want to participate in, especially the Roswell actors who<br \/>\nwill want to help Zeke and Garrett.~<\/p>\n<p>**Sign ups will begin on Wednesday, August 21st, 2002 at 7pm Pacific Time. A<br \/>\nlink to the sign up sheet will be posted on here, and on FanForum at all the<br \/>\nRoswell threads at that time. We are also in the process of designing a<br \/>\nwebsite that will have updated info on the event, bowling teams, and the<br \/>\ncelebrities as they confirm.<\/p>\n<p>And if you want to help, but can&#8217;t be there, we will have a sponsor-a-bowler<br \/>\nprogram where you can sponsor a needy child from Covina, or a local child<br \/>\nwith SMA, so that they can participate.<\/p>\n<p>Space is limited, since we can only fit 5 people on a lane. The minimum<br \/>\ndonation to participate is $70 per person. We will also have a pledge sheet<br \/>\nfor you to print so that you can get friends and family, or local businesses<br \/>\nto sponsor you, just like with a walk-a-thon. The $70.00 fee will cover<br \/>\nlunch, beverages, a souvenir program, 3 games, and shoe rental.<br \/>\nCommemorative T-shirts will be $10.00, and will be available only by<br \/>\npre-ordering. You will have the opportunity to do so soon.<\/p>\n<p>We will also be having a contest in which the team that raises the most<br \/>\nmoney will get to choose both celebrities that they will get to bowl with.<br \/>\nThe second place team will get to choose one of the celebrities they will<br \/>\nbowl with. There will be an auction at the event as well.<\/p>\n<p>The minimum donations will be accepted from October 30th to November 30th,<br \/>\n2002. Additional money raised for the contest will be due by January 31st,<br \/>\nso that we can get a celebrity list out to the winning teams.<\/p>\n<p>****Each team (anywhere from 2 to 5 people) should have one person sign up<br \/>\nfor the whole team.**** That person will need to know each bowlers\u2019 name<br \/>\n(first and last), posting name (if they have one), address, phone number,<br \/>\ne-mail, and if they will be staying in a hotel or not. We have a wonderful<br \/>\nand supportive hotel working on a group discount for us. I will have an<br \/>\nexact cost at a later date, and at that point those needing a hotel can<br \/>\ndecide if they want to stay there, or find their own.<\/p>\n<p>If a team has less than 5 people, we will add individuals looking for teams<br \/>\nto it. And you may sign up as an individual if you do not have a team<br \/>\ntogether at the point of registration.<\/p>\n<p>So, Dan and I look forward to seeing you all there. :D Get started<br \/>\norganizing those teams! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel<br \/>\nfree to contact us at bowl4fsma@hotmail.com<\/p>\n<p>Take Care everybody!<\/p>\n<p>Andrea<br \/>\n(evansgirl)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to evansgirl and roswellian11 for organizing this wonderful event.
