Bowling for Books – April 12, 2013
As you know, the fifth annual Bowling for Books tournament is being held on Friday, April 12, 2013 at Cal Bowl in Lakewood from 1-6pm. All proceeds raised from the event are put towards the 49er Textbook Scholarship, which benefits students with a financial need by assisting with the costs of textbooks and other necessary course materials.

All students, faculty and staff, campus organizations, and Long Beach community businesses are encouraged to participate in this event. Since the event’s purpose is to benefit students, we hope to see many student teams and student organizations participating in the tournament. If you are a student or part of a student organization or club, please invite your friends and sign up for this exciting event!

There is only a short time left to gather a team and find sponsors! All teams (made up of four members) are required to turn in registration forms and fees, as well as all funds raised, by Monday, April 8. Individuals who would like to participate but do not have a team are encouraged to sign up, and they will be placed with other individuals to form teams of four.

All registration forms must be turned in to Linda Welty at the Reception Desk in the upper level of the Bookstore. For any additional questions, please contact Linda Welty at linda.welty@csulb.edu or (562)985-7700, or visit our website at www.csulb.edu/aux/49ershops/corporate/bowling/.
