APRIL 22, 2017, a Saturday, in Delaware, USA was gloomy  and rainy outdoors,  but it  was  all  bright and sunny inside the Pleasant Hills Lanes as CFC ANCOP Delaware held its second Annual Bowling FUNdraising event.

It was an afternoon of fun, fellowship and giving, as 24 teams from Delaware and neighboring states  of  Maryland  and  Pennsylvania came  to offer their support and participate in the fundraising tournament. The proceeds from the sold -out event will allow ANCOP Delaware to provide sponsorship for the education of poor students in the Philippines.

Marc Crew from Maryland emerged as the champion in the Advanced Team category. Marc's team also  received  one  of  the special  awards  from  the tournament—the Most Creative Team award. 

The High Game Advanced medal went to Kevin DePeel of Harley Bowlers, also from Maryland. Jing Capucao of Mortal Pins team from PA swept the two big awards in the female intermediate category: High Average and High Game awards.

For the Male Intermediate category, the High Game award went to Anthony Gubitosi of Bowleros from DE; and High Average was awarded to Larry Vaught of Poppop's team, also from DE. The Poppop's team came with an aim to support the poor kids and have some fun, but ended up going home with the First Place trophy, followed by The Team Kalog in second place, and Bowl's Eye in third place. Both teams are from Delaware. 

The other special team awards were awarded to Most Spirited team of all, Glory Bowl from PA, and the Crusaders from DE for their Sportsmanship. 

It was a very exciting afternoon of fun and friendly  competition with  families,  friends, co-workers and  ANCOP  supporters.  The event  also  aimed  to help raise awareness about ANCOP and the funds needed to support and sustain the child sponsorship program. (Rusel Valenciano)
