AKRON, Ohio – The Akron Zoo will host its annual bowling fundraiser, “Snow Bowl,” Jan. 18 at Stonehedge, 580 E. Cuyahoga Falls Ave., Akron.

The fundraiser is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., but only 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. start times are still available.

Snow Bowl is the zoo’s second-largest annual fundraiser. Event proceeds support conservation programs, education programs and animal care.

The event is a target-score bowling competition. Five-member teams try to predict their score ahead of the event. The team whose score is closest to its predicted score wins the tournament. The winning team will receive a trophy, and each team member will win a prize from the zoo.

The cost to register a team ranges from $300-$400 and sponsorship packages are available.

Rubber City Radio will emcee the event, which will also feature live animal encounters. Participants can buy raffle tickets for a chance to win a basket of gift cards, an overnight stay at Nomad Ridge at the Wilds, behind-the-scenes tours of the zoo and more.

To learn more about the event or register a team, call the zoo at 330-375-2550 ext. 7231.
