Drop in on February 10th from 10am-12pm for an educational bowling event!

Strike down pins that have stereotypical statements on them that contribute to violence against women. With each pin you knock down, participants are asked to challenge the stereotype to receive a prize!

The more stereotypes you challenge, the more prizes you can choose from!

We hope to see you there!
