Teams signing up for scholarship fund bowlathon Saturday

Laboratory teams can sign up through Friday for the Los Alamos Employees' Scholarship Fund bowlathon.

The bowlathon begins at 10 a.m., Saturday, at Big Rock Bowl in Espanola. Five-person teams are being assembled; the cost is $250 a team or $50 per bowler. Businesses and community groups also can participate in the bowlathon. As of Wednesday, about 40 teams had signed up for the fundraising event, said Debbi Wersonick of the Community Relations (CRO) Office.

A buffet lunch will be served at noon for all participants, and a traveling trophy will be awarded to the team with the highest combined score. Prizes will be awarded to the team with the best uniforms as will other prizes.

The Los Alamos Employees' Scholarship Fund allows University of California Laboratory employees and subcontract personnel to donate to a fund that awards college scholarships to Northern New Mexico area students.

Completed forms should be returned to the nonprofit Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation in Santa Fe. Remittance envelopes will be included with pledge forms, which were mailed to Laboratory workers at their mail stops and to retirees at their homes.

More than $61,000 has been raised thus far in this year's campaign. The goal of this year's fundraising campaign is $200,000.
