Fourth Annual Candlelight Bowl to Benefit Tim Nickos Memorial Scholarship

    

Tim Nickos was a talented and beloved 17-year-old senior who passed away in 2011 from a heart condition.

 

His legacy lives on in the memories of his friends and family, and through the Tim Nickos Memorial Scholarship, which awards $2,500 to an OLCHS student for college tuition.

 

The scholarship is funded through the Candlelight Bowl. The fourth annual event will feature three games of bowling, dinner, and a cash bar on Saturday, March 21 at Fox Bowl, 1101 Butterfield Road, Wheaton. Drinks, food and raffles will begin at 9 p.m., and bowling will start at 9:15 p.m.

 

This year's Candlelight Bowl will also benefit Young Hearts 4 Life, a cardiac screening program that screens high school students free of charge for conditions that can cause sudden cardiac death. This type of heart screening could have saved Tim's life, and it only takes 30 seconds.

  

Tickets for the Candlelight Bowl are $30 or $25 for students. See this year's event flyer for the registration form. Walk-in bowlers are welcome, but the event is first come, first served. Reservations are encouraged. Donations can be made through the Tim Nickos Memorial Scholarship website.

 

This year's scholarship recipient will be announced at the Spring Sports Award Ceremony. 

Contact Dale Nickos at NACDale@aol.com or 708-267-2560 if you have any questions.
