PETERSON AFB, Colo. -- The Colorado Springs Area Chiefs' Groups held their annual bowl-a-thon this month.

Thirty-four base teams participated in the tournament raising more than $5,300 to fund CSACG events and initiatives.

"It was a great event," said Master Sgt. Chris Roth, superintendent of electrical systems for 21st Civil Engineer Squadron and one of the participants. "It was good for morale and good for the cause."

Several prizes were awarded during the tournament. Mr. Brian Waldie, Air Force Space Command A1, earned the day's King Pin title with a score of 733. A team led by Chief Master Sgt. Todd Horak, AFSPC A4, earned top scoring team honors by knocking down a combined 2,767 pins. Each of the top scorers won a $25 gift certificate. Tech. Sgt. Kim Coates, AFSPC A2 won a $50 gift certificate for raising the most money, $678.

"You didn't have to be a good bowler to be rewarded," said Senior Master Sgt Ty Foster, an organizer of the event, since many average bowlers received prizes as well.

More than 30 local businesses donated the goods awarded as door prizes.

The CSACG is an organization that contributes to the support of junior enlisted officers, including Outstanding Airman of the Year Award. Sergeant Foster said the support of the local businesses and the 21st Services Squadron helped make the event a continued success.
