GET YOUR BOWL ON FOR LEAP!

March 25, 2012

Leap's first "Get Your Bowl On" event took place on 3/21/12 at Yerba Buena Bowling Center in San Francisco. This event was a fun way to stay connected to our Sandcastle Contest teams and other Leap supporters, as well as raising funds to support Leap's arts education programs. 

Everyone had a blast bowling to the sounds of 70's and 80's classic hits while surrounded by swirling disco lights, laser beams and of course, lots of high-fives. You can view more event photos on Leap's flickr page. Thanks to photographer Adrienne Eberhardt for capturing the joy of this special evening! 

Many thanks to everyone who participated!
