Kimball Hospital Foundation bowling tournament begins February 15

The signup period is under way for the Kimball Hospital Foundation’s 17th Annual Bowling Tournament, set to begin Friday, Feb. 15 at the Kim Bowl.

Up to $1,000 in prize money is up for grabs for bowling a perfect game in the 9-pin no-tap tournament. In the 9-pin no-tap format, the bowler gets credit for a strike even if he or she knocks down just nine pins. If more than one bowler rolls a perfect game, the $1,000 will be split.

In addition to the $1,000 perfect game prize fund, bowlers can win cash prizes paid on a 1 of 6 ratio.

The 9-pin no-tap tournament is a fundraiser for the Foundation, with proceeds going to help purchase medical equipment at Kimball Health Services. For a second year, tournament proceeds will help the hospital purchase new high-definition surgical endoscopy equipment for colonoscopies and other procedures.

The tournament features men’s and women’s singles divisions, a doubles division and a youth/teen division. There will be prize brackets for league and non-league bowlers, so bowlers of all skill levels are welcome. The entry fee is $20 per three-game event.

The tournament dates are Friday and Saturday, Feb. 15-16 and the following weekend, Feb. 22-23. Bowling on Fridays begins at 7 p.m., and Saturday times are 1 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.
