Keglers Get Ready
for Gutter Dance 7
Gutter Dance 7, is a two
game charity bowling event presented by the
Hal Smith Restaurant Group to benefit the J.
D. McCarty Center for children with developmental
disabilities, that will be held on Thursday,
May 6, at the Sooner Bowling Center, 550 24th
Avenue NW, in Norman.
Bowling teams composed
of four bowlers each will compete for a myriad
of prizes including first, second, third and
last place trophies; a prize for the most creative
bowling team shirts; prizes for making a strike
with a colored pin in the rack; door prize drawings;
and the opportunity to win a 2010 Chevrolet
Cobalt SS from Marc Heitz Chevrolet for picking
up a 7-10 split.
"It doesn't matter
if you're a league bowler with a high average
or have never bowled in you life," explains
Uwe von Schamann, director of development for
the McCarty Center, "this bowling event
is for anyone who likes to have a good time.
And it's all for a good cause."
The Gutter Dance 7 is $200
per team. Registration forms for the event may
be found at the Sooner Bowling Center and event
sponsors Marc Heitz Chevrolet, the RibCrib BBQ
& Grill, Mazzio's, Louie's Grill & Bar,
Cha Cha's Grille y Cantina, the dental office
of Randy Venk and the law office of Blake Virgin,
all in Norman.
"Our goal for this
year's event is $10,000," said von Schamann.
"The money will go into the Camp ClapHans
scholarship endowment fund. Camp ClapHans is
a summer camp project of the McCarty Center
that we anticipate will be open by the summer
of 2011. This scholarship fund will help offset
the cost of camp tuition for campers,"
he added.
The Gutter Dance 7 will
offer a little something for all bowlers regardless
of skill. For the non-bowler there will be an
opportunity to improve your score by buying
a ringer. For just $10 you can buy a ringer…a
local king pin with a very high average…to
bowl up to two frames for you.
For the more skilled bowlers,
there is the opportunity to participate in the
7-10 split roll off. The top ten individual
bowlers for the evening will get one chance
to make a 7-10 split. The bowler who can pick
up this split will win a 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt
SS or $15,000 in cash.
The J. D. McCarty Center
is Oklahoma's center of excellence in the care
and treatment of children with developmental
disabilities from birth to age 21. The McCarty
Center was founded in 1946, to provide the physical,
occupational, speech and language therapy that
these children need to reach their highest level
of independence and functionality. In the beginning
the hospital only treated one diagnosis…cerebral
palsy. Today the McCarty Center has treated
more than 70 different diagnoses in the developmental
disability category.
