My wife and I are involved in a local charity called Ella's Halo that supports families in the Twin Cities’ Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). This is for babies that are born prematurely and need extra special care in order to survive. Ella's Halo is putting on a charity event to raise money to provide comforts of home (care packages, monetary donations, blankets, books, cameras, etc) to families who are essentially living in the NICU at local Twin Cities' hospitals so that they can be closer to their newborn babies while they recover and are cared for. I told her that the Pinball Community was some of the most generous and caring group of people that I had ever met and that I would post on here to see if people would like to help Ella's Halo.
The 6th Annual Bowling for Babies will take place on May 9, 2015! This awesome, family-friendly event will be held at the Park Tavern Bowling and Entertainment Center, in St. Louis Park, MN. We need your help to continue to support families at the time when they need it most. Our efforts directly benefit the families at the University of Minnesota Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
