Dear Readers,

Gilbert Guide is proud to announce our involvement in the 5th annual Bowl-A-Strike For Seniors, sponsored by Little Brothers—Friends of the Elderly. The organization depends on volunteers to support isolated seniors through advocacy and companionship. We’re excited to lend our time, enthusiasm and top-secret bowling techniques to this worthy cause. The event will take place on Saturday, April 14th at Presidio Bowl in San Francisco.

We’ve called our friends and families to help us toward our company fundraising goal of $2,500. If you’d like to support us as we support our elderly friends, make checks payable to Little Brothers—Friends of the Elderly and mail to:

Gilbert Guide Bowling Team

625 Second St., 3rd Floor

San Francisco, CA 94107

For more information about our involvement, call us at (415) 668-1532.

If you are interested in forming a team of your own, email ekeane.san@littlebrothers.org to see if spots are still available. If you opt not to bowl, we invite you to come down and cheer us on. We’ll be the team bowling strike after strike!

Raising money, awareness and the stakes for other bowlers—

The Gilbert Guide Team

    Thank you Josie. We wish you could join us. There’s nothing like an enthusiastic player!

    Let us know if you get involved with any fun events in your neck of the woods. We’re always interested to hear how people are supporting seniors in their communities.

  3. A Worthy Cause? | Gilbert Guide Blog Says:

    […] We sure think so! This past Saturday, the Gilbert Guide team lent its efforts to the San Francisco chapter of Little Brothers–Friends of the Elderly fifth annual Bowl-a-Strike for Seniors. We’re happy to report that we surpassed our fundraising goal, raising lots of money for Little Brothers–Friends of the Elderly, and our team won second place for best costume thanks to our self-designed T-shirts (concept by yours truly, and design by our resident artist, Carmela Porral)!
