FIRST ANNUAL FD BOWL-A-THON

On Sunday, March 19th, 2006 the first annual FD bowl-a-thon was held at Woodmere Lanes in Woodmere, NY. This event was organized by Jared Sirota as a community service project to raise funds for FD. The event raised over $50,000.00 for treatment and research, through the participation of 80 bowlers, mostly schoolmates, friends and relatives of Jared and his cousin, Scott Fass. The sale of raffles raised additional funds. There were many exciting raffle prizes, including an Olympus digital camera/docking station/printer, an iPod Nano and tickets to a NY Knicks game.

Many people have to be thanked for making the day a great success - Jared Sirota for an amazing job; Rachel Fass for helping organize the event; Scott Fass for reaching his goal of $20,000; Gary Kaplan for raising $19,750; Harold Sirota for sponsoring the bowlers; Shoni Rozenberg for soliciting sponsors and bowlers; Mark Schlau for sponsoring the raffle and Jesus Chang of Devnik, Inc. for designing and donating the great T-shirts. Thanks are also in order for all the volunteers who helped on Sunday, to Geri, Cori and Lexi Sirota for their enthusiastic support of this event, to all the bowlers who participated, and again to Jared and Scott for doing such a great job.

We look forward to making our second bowl-a-thon as successful as the first.
