PBA Stars Take “A Walk In The Park”

Several of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA)’s top stars will take part in the Six Flags 
Friends second annual “A
Walk In The Park” walk-a-thon benefiting Cure Kids Cancer on June 14.

Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour players participating will be 2008-09 Player of the Year Wes Malott
along with Hall of Famers, Walter Ray Williams Jr., Parker Bohn
III, Pete Weber and Norm Duke, as
well as two-time PBA Tour champion Rhino Page.


The bowlers will be competing in the GEICO PBA Team Shootout that will be conducted and taped
by ESPN on specially-built outdoor lanes in the Jackson,
NJ, theme park June 11-14.

“I look forward to participating in this wonderful charity event especially because it is in my own
backyard,” said Bohn, a 32-time Tour titlist. “With Six
Flags Great Adventure as the backdrop, and
some of the greatest bowling fans in
the world located here, it should be a lot of fun.”

The goal of each bowler is to raise at least $1,000 through pledges that can be made by visiting

.

Last year the nationwide charity event raised an overall total of more than $250,000.

In addition to the walk-a-thon, seven players will team up with the All-Shore High School bowling
team for a doubles tournament on the tournament lanes at 11
a.m. and six other players will be
participating in a meet-and-greet reception
at 1 p.m., weather permitting.
