The 12th annual “Don’t Know Your Partner” Bowling Tournament, hosted recently by the Chautauqua Lake VFW Post No. 8647 at Lucky Lanes in Fredonia, raised $8,100 to benefit the services of Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care.

One hundred and twenty bowlers competed in the day-long tournament, which also included food, giveaways and auction items. The Derek Davis Band provided live music. Tournament winners included first-place: Scott Johnson and Steve Malloy; second-place: Andy Anderson and Tyler Griswold; and third-place: Matthew Eaker and Kathy Alday. Dozens of individuals and local businesses also participated in the event as lane sponsors or by donating items for the giveaways and auctions.

“My Uncle Bill (Larson) started this event as a novel way to curb cabin fever,” said tournament chairperson Shannon Larson. “It continues to grow every year. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to those who helped or supported us in any way. This was the third year that we bowled at Lucky Lanes in Fredonia. As always, everyone had a great time.”

Shauna Anderson, president and CEO of Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care, acknowledged the continued support of the group.

“Our friends at Chautauqua Lake Memorial VFW Post No. 8647 have provided Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care with important financial support for many years,” Anderson said. “We are indebted to the volunteers, merchants and participants who make the annual Don’t Know Your Partner Bowling Tournament such a fun and successful event.”
