BOWL-A-THON FOR DANNY POTOKAR
April 26, 2008 from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m.
Grove City Lanes
3940 Broadway, Grove City, Ohio 43123
Dan Potokar, a 21-year old Ohio State University football player and Grove City High School Alumni was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer on December 3, 2007 following an illness that would not retreat. His initial treatment, conducted in Columbus, consisted of surgery and chemotherapy. Since this treatment did not remove the cancer that had spread to his lungs, he and his parents have temporarily relocated to Indiana University where Dan is currently undergoing stem cell/chemotherapy treatments. This procedure to treat Dan’s cancer is extremely risky. The emotional and financial impact this procedure will have on the entire Potokar family can not be emphasized enough.
To help the Potokar family with financial expenses, a Bowl-A-Thon is scheduled for Saturday, April 26th from 12 noon until 4 P.M.
•The number of games you bowl will depend on how many bowlers are willing to participate.
•We will contact you prior to the Bowl-A-Thon to let you know how many games you will be bowling and what time you will be bowling.
•Please contact either Terri Ehmann or Danielle Ratcliffe before April 16th if you plan to bowl (see contact information below). If you have a team of 5 bowlers, please provide the name of each bowler when you contact us so we can place all bowlers on the same team.
To participate in the Bowl-A-Thon, we are asking each bowler to obtain pledges from friends, family members, co-workers, etc. prior to the event.
•People can pledge a flat amount (i.e. $5.00, $10.00, $25.00, etc.) OR
•People may pledge so much per pin (i.e., if you bowl a 150 and someone pledges 5 cents per pin, they would owe you $7.50; if you bowl a 130 and someone pledges 10 cents per pin, they would owe you $13.00). If you bowl more than one game and someone pledges an amount per pin, your highest bowling score will be used to determine the pledge.
•Although not mandatory, we are asking each bowler to try to obtain pledges totaling over $100.00.
•Please complete the attached pledge sheet and bring it with you to the Bowl-A-Thon. Our hope is that all pledge money is turned in the day of the Bowl-A-Thon, or no later than May 3rd.
In addition to the Bowl-A-Thon, we will be selling food and having a 50/50 raffle. Door prizes will be given away during the Bowl-A-Thon. As Dan is an OSU football player, all funds must be handled by OSU to comply with NCAA regulations; If paying by check, the check must be payable to The Ohio State University (write “Dan Potokar” in the memo line of the check).
Please contact Terri Ehmann or Danielle Ratcliffe by May 3rd to turn in your money.

Even if you don't bowl this is a great opportunity for you to drop off your donation.

This is from my Aunt Mary.
Things are going great for the two fundraisers for Danny. Thanks to the generosity of the McIntire family, we have some good donations for the event at Planks. We could use some more basket donations. Gift certificates in any amount from anywhere. Candy, homemade goods, shirts, ANYTHING. We had a donation from some GC alumni who donated 1000 business cards imprinted for free. We will take whatever you want to offer for this worthy cause. We also have some signed OSU items that have been donated.
Please call Mary Mulvany at 871-3466 with any questions or offers of help. We would also like volunteers to help in the kitchen that day.
I may also be reached at the email below.
