Lang’s to hold scholarship fundraiser

Posted

Lang’s Bowlarama will be hosting the first annual “Ed Lang Memorial Scholarship Fund” Tournament to establish an annual college scholarship fund for a college bound bowler from the Providence Senate Junior Bowling program.

The tournament will be on June 28 at 11 a.m. and will cost $20 per bowler, with the hope to raise $5,000. The Providence Senate program is run by Marty Jones, the 2011 USBC National Bowling Coach of the Year.

Many of the junior bowlers from this program have gone on to national teams or secured significant college scholarships, including Gazmine Mason, the leadoff bowler for the Nebraska Huskers team that just won the NCAA National Championship.

Lang’s Bowlarama, long known as a local family entertainment and bowling center, is celebrating its 55th year in 2015. A series of events commemorating the anniversary kicked off in May and will run through to the actual anniversary in October.

The Ed Lang Memorial Scholarship Fund will take donations throughout the year and will seek to give a scholarship each year to a high school senior and junior bowler deserving of college assistance.

Trio receive awards at Hendricken athletics banquet

Cam Brennan and Stone Freeman were recently acknowledged at the Hendricken athletics banquet as the recipients of the John L. Henseler Distinguished Service Award. This award recognizes a senior, or in this case seniors, who display exceptional dedication to the Hendricken athletic program over the course of their four years. Furthermore, this award goes to those whose work often goes unnoticed, displaying sacrifice as a volunteer to ensure the betterment of the athletic program.

Mike McCaffrey also received the Dennis Hayden Award. This honor is given to the senior who displays the sportsmanship and love for the game of baseball as shown by Hayden.
