Austin Pettis Hosts Monday Night Football Bowling Event to Benefit the Austin Pettis Foundation

To kick off the 2013 NFL season, St. Louis Rams’ wide receiver Austin Pettis is hosting a Monday Night Football bowling event on October 7 from 7:00-9:00 PM at Brunswick Zone Chesterfield (176 Four Seasons Shopping Center). Tickets will include two hours of bowling, shoes, pizza, silent auction and Monday Night Football with Austin and other Rams players. All proceeds will benefit the Austin Pettis Foundation.

“I’m really looking forward to hosting this event, especially during a Monday Night Football game,” said Pettis. “It will be a great atmosphere and I’m excited to meet and mingle with our fans. It’s great for me to have my foundation here in St. Louis and raise money that will go right back into this community.  This will be a great family event, and I look forward to seeing everyone in their Rams gear on October 7th.”

Individual tickets to attend the bowling event are $30 and can only be purchased online at www.AustinPettisFoundation.org. Teams of six bowlers can also reserve lanes for $150 per lane. Attendees will enjoy two hours of unlimited bowling, shoes, pizza, and opportunities to bowl and mingle with Austin and teammates.  Space and tickets are very limited.

About the Austin Pettis Foundation

The Austin Pettis Foundation’s mission is to broaden the life experiences of inner-city, underprivileged and disadvantaged youth by raising money for them to attend various sports, educational camps and programs. The camps provide a complete package of sports and educational training (various sports available) that have a lasting and positive influence.

The Foundation knows that great possibilities are started by boys and girls being molded and influenced from attending camps. Many are unable to afford it for reasons out of their control.

By building character and integrity in youth through these sport camps and clinics we can put all children on the path to a great future with hope and opportunity.
