Tewksbury, MA — Bowl With a Bruin Headlines Late-September Fun
If you follow competitive spirit and love a good charity event, here’s a quirky mash-up that will catch your eye. On September 21, Wamesit Lanes in Tewksbury, MA, will host a lively charity gathering called Bowl with a Bruin. Picture a bowling tournament where iconic Boston Bruins alumni lace up with everyday players for a night of strikes, laughs, and fundraising — and then flip into arcade games and virtual golf simulator action for a full evening’s variety.
What to expect on the lanes
The event mixes ten-pin and candlepin bowling, so whether you like the traditional American set-up or the uniquely New England-style candlepin, there’s a lane calling your name. Teams will include some Bruins alumni who join tournament rosters and bowl alongside guests. The format feels familiar to charity golf tournaments — team-based, competitive in spirit, but friendly enough for casual participants.
More than just bowling
Organizers are packing the place with extras. An arcade area will keep the energy buzzing between frames, and several virtual golf simulators provide a chance for guests to switch from lanes to fairways — a nice touch for golf fans who want to compare their swing to their bowling delivery. Food and drinks will be served by the on-site restaurant, FireWater Tavern, so you won’t be left hunting for a bite.
Raffles, giveaways, and goods
The evening will include raffles and giveaways, and Bruins merchandise will be available for those who want memorabilia. Think of it like a clubhouse gathering after a charity golf day: a little shopping, a few auctions or raffles, and plenty of stories swapping near the bar.
Who benefits
Proceeds from the event are slated to benefit several causes, including the Boston Bruins Foundation Pan Mass Challenge Team, Warrior for Life Fund, Fisher House Boston, and the Boston Bruins Alumni Association. The setup mirrors many charity golf events where multiple nonprofits share the proceeds, so dollars raised get steered toward several initiatives rather than a single bucket.
Alumni presence
The event has a history of drawing notable Bruins alumni. Names that have been involved in past iterations include Ray Borque, Todd Angilly, Andy Brickly, Bob Beers, Reggie Lemelin, and Rick Middleton. Their participation tends to raise the profile of the evening, much like a celebrity guest can raise interest at a benefit golf scramble.
Who this suits — especially golf fans
If you’re a golf enthusiast who appreciates a tight short game and exacting yardage control, you’ll find parallels here. Virtual golf simulators let you dial in shot selection; reading the lane is akin to reading a green. The camaraderie of team competition, the banter, and the charity angle are all familiar territory for players who frequent charity golf outings. Expect a social night where skill and fun trade places often.
