The 302nd Airlift Wing’s 5th Annual Bowling Tournament and Fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday, April 1, at the Peterson Air Force Base bowling center at 3:30 p.m. 

“The first session consisting of 20 teams will begin at 1530, and if we have more teams participating this year, we will add a second session,” said Senior Airman Hope Clark-Vasquez, 302nd Services Flight fitness and recreation specialist. 

The tournament costs $15 per person and team size is limited to six members. However, there is no limit to the number of teams that can participate. Spouses and family members are welcome as team members. 

The annual bowling tournament is not only a morale-booster, but it is also a fundraiser, said Airman Clark-Vazquez. Proceeds from the tournament go to the 302nd AW Family Support Center to offset costs associated with the wing family day picnic, she said. 

Last year’s bowling tournament raised almost $1,000. It is hoped enough teams for a second session will compete this year so more money can be raised. 

Individual door prizes will be randomly awarded to individual tournament participants. Trophies will be awarded to the teams finishing in first, second and third place. 

“The team finishing in first place will win bragging rights and the nice big trophy that we took from Maintenance that’s sitting in the Services office now,” said Airman Clark-Vazquez. 

Last year, Services won the tournament by dethroning the three-year champion Maintenance team with a total score of 2,616.
