Ten Oaks Bowl-A-Thon

Announcement, Announcement, Aaannoouucceemennttt!

We are so excited to host our annual FUNdraiser, the Bowl-A-Thon! We had our first one in 2005, and have run 16 times since then. Now, as Ten Oaks turns 22, yes, it's been 22 years, we have brought the Bowl-A-Thon back. Filled with silly challenges, amazing costumes, and fun prizes, the Bowl-A-Thon brings much-needed funds to the organization and connects children and youth from 2SLGBTQ+ identities, families, and communities with their supporters.

The 2026 Bowl-A-Thon will take place on April 26, from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM at Splitsville Kanata. We welcome participants of all ages, skill levels, and abilities to join us for bowling, arcade games and prizes! On the day of the Bowl-A-Thon, teams enjoy an afternoon of incredible fun: bowl, play arcade games, and participate in team spirit challenges to win prizes! Costumes and team themes are strongly encouraged.

All of the money raised at the Bowl-A-Thon goes directly to Camp Ten Oaks, a summer camp program for the children and youth of 2SLGBTQ+ identities, families and communities. At camp, our programming variety allows campers to receive instruction, strengthen old skills and develop new ones with the option to participate in outdoor adventure, waterfront, arts, social justice activities and sports. We empower children and youth through play that enhances self-esteem, life skills, independence, leadership and self-confidence.
