Riverhead Lions Club Hosts Bowling Fundraiser to Support Local Projects

The Riverhead Lions Club announced plans for a Bowling Fun Night fundraiser set for Monday, Jan. 19, at The All Star, 90 Main Road in downtown Riverhead. The event is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. and will include 2.5 hours of unlimited bowling with shoe rental, access to a private room with a billiard table, and included food and soft drinks.

Ticketing is split between bowlers and non-bowlers: $75 per bowler and $45 per non-bowler. Proceeds will support the Lions Club’s community service projects in Suffolk County. Organizers provided reservation details for attendees seeking to secure space in advance: riverheadlionsclub@gmail.com and 631-553-9349.

Local fundraisers such as this serve a dual role: they generate direct revenue for nonprofit activities and stimulate modest local spending at neighborhood businesses. Holding the event at The All Star concentrates patronage downtown, bringing paying customers to a Main Road venue during an otherwise slow weekday evening. For the Lions Club, ticket revenue will be a primary source of funds: for example, 50 bowlers at the $75 rate would yield $3,750 in gross ticket sales before expenses, while 50 non-bowlers at $45 would add $2,250.

Organizers say the package is designed to be inclusive of non-bowlers by offering lower-priced admission and social space in the private room. The mix of unlimited bowling, food and soft drinks places the per-person value in line with typical community fundraising events, where ticket prices subsidize the charitable portion once venue and catering costs are covered.

For residents, the event provides an accessible way to contribute to local services while participating in a social evening. The fundraiser also offers networking and volunteer recruitment potential for the Lions Club, which relies on community engagement to maintain and expand its programs. Attendees should verify availability and reservation details by emailing riverheadlionsclub@gmail.com or calling 631-553-9349.

As with many municipal nonprofits, local support in January can shape program capacity for the year ahead. Residents considering attendance will find a straightforward opportunity to help fund community projects while supporting a local business at 90 Main Road.
