Bowling for Miracles raised over $18,000 this year to help support the children and families served by Vermont Children’s Hospital. The funds raised enhance our family assistance programs, state of the art equipment, and Child Life services, throughout the hospital.

Many thanks to our Registration Sponsor, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont, our Team Photo Sponsor, FairPoint Communications, and our Strike Raffle Sponsor, NorthCountry Federal Credit Union.

Generous members of the community, Fletcher Allen Health Care, and local schools, put together teams of five to have a great time and support a great cause. Bowlers selected among various two-hour segments beginning at 8:30 am, 11:30 am or 2:30 pm. Raffles, contests, prizes and DJ entertainment kept everyone in great spirits throughout the day. Our top fundraiser, Mike Marriott, raised $625 and won a Wii Video Game System (donated by Best Buy) in recognition of his efforts on behalf of the patients and families at Vermont Children’s Hospital.
