Strike It Big Raises Nearly $70,000 for Local Autism Community

Posted on 03/19/18 in School by Milestones

This month, Milestones Autism Resources’ annual Strike it Big Bowling Extravaganza returned for its sixth year. On Sunday, March 11th, over 80 teams comprised of more than 400 bowlers gathered at Spins Bowl in Independence to bowl in support of the local autism community. As a result of the tremendous efforts of our sponsors, bowlers, and volunteers, the event raised nearly $70,000 for Milestones’ free autism Helpdesk, a service which allows families to contact Milestones’ professional staff for personal guidance and local resources.

Participants included eight school districts and colleges, plus community members and business owners from all across Cleveland.

The fun-filled day also included balloon twisting, face painting, a raffle, a photo booth and a special appearance by Cleveland Browns mascot Chomps.

Milestones would like to thank everyone who helped make this year’s fundraiser a wonderful success.
