LAKE HAVASU CITY – Get into the bowling spirit of giving back with two amazing upcoming tournaments happening next weekend. Resource nonprofit Clothes Closet will be hosting their Bad Bowlers tournament this month followed by Havasu Lanes and Keglers Pub’s Fall Fun Fundraiser Tournament.

Their ongoing charitable events have helped the Havasu community with jobs, meals, and healthcare needs. Havasu Lanes has youth leagues where children can participate.

Clothes Closet’s Bad Bowlers Tournament will be the second annual game for the charitable event. The tournament will have a 50/50 drawing. First place winners will win $400, second place will earn $250, and Clothes Closet will even have a special prize for third place winners.
Participation fees are $45 per person for six-person teams. Participation includes three rounds of bowling, shoes, and lunch.
