Bowl-a-Thon 2025: Strikes, Smiles & Support!
The North Carolina Fragile X Foundation's Bowlathon on Sunday, July 22 at Rainbow Lanes in Clayton was a striking success! Over 100 bowlers and spectators gathered for an afternoon of fun, friendship, and fundraising – and together, we raised $6,000 to support families affected by Fragile X Syndrome across our state.
The event was generously sponsored by Harmony Biosciences, whose support made possible our signature event t-shirts – each bowler received one proudly bearing the NC Fragile X logo on the front and Harmony's logo on the back.
Thanks to the incredible talents of Jennifer Keith and her family, Rainbow Lanes was transformed with beautiful balloon centerpieces, a dazzling balloon wall, and delicious cakes and refreshments that brought joy to everyone in the building.
Our 50/50 raffle raised $600 – and in a heartwarming twist, self-advocate Adam Strom won the raffle and donated his $300 prize back to the Foundation. Thank you to Len and Renée Clark for volunteering to sell raffle tickets throughout the event.
Alex Macpherson took home the bowling trophy with the day's top score – and plenty of applause!
Most of all, we're thankful for every bowler, spectator, volunteer, and supporter who made the day a joyful celebration of community and connection. Your participation brings us closer to a world that fully supports and includes individuals living with Fragile X.
We’re already looking forward to next year! Click here to view all the photos from the event.
