Strike Out Heart Disease Bowl-A-Thon Feb. 16

JAMESTOWN – On Sunday, in celebration of National Heart Month, WCA Hospital will host the 3rd annual Strike Out Heart Disease Bowl-A-Thon at the Fountain Bowl, 3316 Fluvanna Ave., Jamestown.

Presented by Serta and Moran’s Floor Store, this charity event will promote good heart health and pay tribute to loved ones who have battled, or are battling heart disease.

“Preventing heart disease starts by taking small steps toward making daily lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity,” said Toni DeAngelo, R.N. Community Health & Wellness director at WCA Hospital. “This bowling event gives us an opportunity to take part in a fun, physical activity with friends and family, while we also pay tribute to loved ones who have battled heart disease.”

This bowling event will begin with sign-in and a basket raffle at 1 p.m., followed by bowling at 2 p.m. Both short- and long-sleeve Strike Out Heart Disease T-shirts are now on sale at WCA Hospital and will be available at the event. In addition, WCA is accepting donations for tribute hearts that will be displayed in honor or in memory of loved ones who are heart patients.

All of the proceeds from this year’s bowling event will benefit the WCA Heart Center through the purchase of new equipment for the Cardiology, Cardiac Catherization and Cardiac Rehab departments.

Pre-registration forms are available on-line at www.wcahospital.org, at the Fountain Bowl, or at WCA Hospital (Office of Development, Wellness, and Cardiology). For $15, attendees will enjoy three games of bowling, shoes and some heart-healthy snacks. Bowling will be organized in a Scotch Doubles format, a fun format which allows one to sign up as a team of two or as an individual. Registration is required and is limited to the first 240 bowlers.

For more information, call Karl Sisson, WCA Director of Development, at 664-8423.
