This year we are expanding from 16 teams to 20 teams (ages 12 and up) competing for the Fun Nun Bowl VI title and four lanes reserved for kids (under 12) bowling. Each of the 20 teams will consist of five bowlers at $40 per bowler/$200 per team. Price includes t-shirt, 2+ hours of bowling, drink and food specials, silent auction, and door prizes. We invite you, your family, and your team to come and participate in all that the Fun Nun Bowl has to offer for people of all ages and families. Click Sign Up for more details on how to participate!

Our “Fun Nun Bowl” was started in 2012 to honor the daughters of St. Paul, raise funds for them and other charities in need, and build community. Through the first five Fun Nun Bowls, we’ve raised over $35k (including more than $10k each of the last two years) for several charities. As mentioned, it is also a community building event and each year we’ve been blessed to have more and more support. Our former host, PINZ/Sparians (now Aldi’s), told us and others many times “this is the best run event here every year” and they would have us speak to others that wanted to hold a tournament.
Our event supports The Daughters of St. Paul, The Neighborhood House (which is run by Our Lady of Mercy and feeds/clothes the hungry in downtown Charleston, as well as providing GED programs to help break the cycle of poverty); “Camp Rise Above” which helps children with special needs and disabilities who would otherwise not be able to go to camp, have a camp experience. “The Lowcountry Pregnancy Center”, which provides support to women who often don’t know they have support and options CNEWA – The Catholic Near East Wealthfare Agency is based out of New York City. Our donation specifically goes to an orphanage in Lebanon (which is already in desperate need, but that need is magnified with the refugee crisis in Syria and Iraq) and for Survival kits for Christians in Syria and Iraq. Catholic Radio in the Lowcountry. And “Forty Days for Life.”
