The following is an official press release, which is why it isn't written from my point of view. It's about the upcoming charity event that Brewskee-Ball, Amped 4-a-Cure and I are putting together on November 2nd at The Blue Post Billiards at 7pm.
Wilmington Brewskee-Ball Gets Amped For A Cure For Cancer
Wilmington, NC – Wilmington Brewskee-Ball, a local competitive Skee-Ball league, is teaming up with one passionate athlete and one inspiring organization to raise money for cancer research. On Tuesday, November 2nd, the league will host a charity Skee-Ball tournament at the Blue Post to raise money for Amped-4-A-Cure, an organization founded locally that supports cancer research through music.
The Story
When Brewskee-Ball member Mary Jo Fish decided to run the Battleship North Carolina half-marathon this November, she was determined to make it count. Teaming up with fellow Brewskee-Baller Ashley Rogers – a founding co-creator of Amped – she committed to raising money for his organization for each mile of the half-marathon that she completes.
Documenting her training on her blog, Fish has spent the last few months writing about her experience, her motivation as she goes through each day, and about her personal goal of making a difference in raising money to beat cancer.
The Organization
Before Fish or Rogers ever joined the Wilmington Brewskee-Ball league, Amped-4-A-Cure was making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. Founded in 2007 in Wilmington, the organization has a unique approach to fundraising: utilizing the power of music to raise money and awareness.
By teaming up with recording artists around the globe and leveraging technology, communication, and artistry, Amped makes cancer research relevant to all ages by harnessing the connection of music.
The Event
Because of Rogers' and Fish's membership in Brewskee-Ball, and their collective efforts in making a difference in beating cancer through research, Wilmington Brewskee-Ball decided to bring even more awareness to their cause. On Tuesday, November 2nd, the league is hosting a charity Skee-Ball tournament with all proceeds going to Fish's fundraising campaign for Amped.
With a $10 suggested donation, the league is inviting everyone in the community to come out, play unlimited games of Brewskee-Ball all night at the Blue Post, and "roll for research." With food donated by local restaurants and prizes offered by area merchants, Wilmington Brewskee-Ball promises an exciting and fun-filled night for a great cause.
The Final Word
Help Wilmington Brewskee-Ball, Mary Jo Fish, and Amped-4-A-Cure fight cancer through research. Come to the Blue Post Billiards (1 S. Front Street, downtown Wilmington, NC), Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010, at 7 pm. For more information about the event and Wilmington Brewskee-Ball, email wilm@brewskeeball.com or call (704) 793.6467.
