Bowling is the first chance to earn points this year, and it will be taking place Saturday, March 12th, at Milford Lanes, located at 1717 Boston Post Rd. Click here for more information on this event. Last year's winner was United Illuminating. This is the first year at the new venue. Participants should report early and be ready to roll right at the 1:00PM start time. 

This event is a non-handicapped bowling tournament where teams of four will duke it out to see who is the king pin. Each bowler will roll three games. Rental shoes are included in the cost of registration.

There are currently 27 teams registered to bowl this year. 

The registration deadline to compete in the bowling event was Friday, March 4th. If you haven't registered your team yet, please contact Jack Walsh at jack.walsh@valleyunitedway.org or by calling (203) 926-9478.

Treadmills were buzzing in Griffin Hospital's Cardiac Rehab Lab, where Healthy Team participants received their screening and fitness evaluation. All participants stopped by the lab on Monday, February 28th and Wednesday, March 2nd to find out where their health ranked and what they can do to improve throughout the competition.

Those who participated were weighed, given blood tests for cholesterol, and walked briskly for a mile while their heart rates were monitored, which determined their cardiovascular capacity. Click here for more details, picture and video from the Healthy Team Pre-Test.
