(Cushing, Okla.) The Cushing Police Department and Cushing Fire Department held their second annual Bowling For A Cure on Friday, October 16, 2015.
The two departments went team to team for Breast Cancer Awareness. The public was also invited to attend and bowl a few games to help raise awareness. According to Deputy Chief Chuck Claxton said just under $1500 was raised through t-shirt sales and public participation in the bowling event. Proceeds go to the Foundation to help defray expenses for local breast cancer patiens who don’t have coverage or need assistance during treatment. There is certain criteria to be met to qualify for funds.
The “Guns & Hoses” Bowl for a Cure fundraiser was held at Frontier Bowl in Cushing with 6 member teams from the Cushing Police Department and Cushing Fire Department. The Cushing PD won the match for the second year in a row by over 100 pins.
Cushing Police Chief Tully Folden thanked everyone for attending and participating in such a great cause.
The trophy is proudly on display on the Police Department side of the Cushing Public Safety Center.
