Lucky Strike Lanes Announces Its Participation in Movember

Lucky Strike Lanes, the nation’s premiere chain of upscale bowling and lounges continues a tradition of philanthropy by announcing a partnership with Movember. Movember is a global charitable organization that raises awareness and funds for men’s health issues, specifically cancer affecting men. A mash-up of the words “moustache” and “November”, the charity’s supporters grow a moustache throughout the month of November. For the month of November, Lucky Strike will encourage guests to participate by growing their own moustaches, and contributing to the cause to change the face of men’s health.

Lucky Strike will be registered at Movember.com, which will track the progress of funds raised, and through social media outreach will invite bowling guests to create their own “Mo Space” profiles on the site. At all Lucky Strike locations throughout the country, guests can add cash donations to their final bill, or donate 10% of a private party’s food and beverage order back to the charity. Lucky Strike will also be donating “Mo Pin Parties”, which will offer complimentary bowling for groups of up to 8 and creating custom bowling pins for “Lame Mo” winners (those with the weakest moustache in the group).

Participation in Movember is not only fun, but simple. Once registered at www.movember.com, men are challenged to start the month clean-shaven and grow a Mo. The moustache becomes the hairy ribbon for men's health and the guys growing them become a walking billboard for 30 days. The growth of a new Mo inspires conversations about not often talked about topics - men's health and cancer affecting them. Women who register are key to the campaign’s success. They act as Mo ambassadors, spreading the word and showing their support for men’s health and the moustache. In the US, funds benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

Yelp Elite Event @ Lucky Strike Philadelphia

Over one Hundred Yelpers gathered for a Yelp Elite Event hosted at Lucky Strike Philadelphia. Yelpers experienced free bowling, stiff drinks and appetizers for a couple of hours on Monday, Sept. 26th. Below are snippets of some of the best reviews:

• Seriously though, I love every event (how could you not?!), but this one will definitely be in my top 5. I'm totally fine with just eating, drinking and talking... but because this one had activities it added a new dimension of awesome. - Gwen T.

• This was my second Elite event and what a great time. While we were waiting in line a friendly server approached and offered pints in line. This was only the beginning of the EXCELLENT service I encountered. I never even went to the bar as the servers were on point all evening. - Ron C.

• I couldn't believe how swanky this place was! I mean, it's a bowling alley, and there were actually some lust-worthy couches and lots of great space to mingle and walk around. - Angela J.

• MAC AND CHEESE BITES. Also: a veritable army of friendly servers, impressively tasty snacks, plentiful drinks, and a wide-open, classy space that let the bowlers bowl, the minglers mingle, and the snackers snack, all quite happily. - Lauren H.

• I was so impressed with this event. There were a lot of people, but the servers and bartenders could not have been nicer. Drinks were flowing, there was SO much food and everyone was friendly. The brie apple quesadilla topped with bacon was delicious. Mac 'n cheese balls also spot on. And the veggie wontons were crispy and super filling. - Elizabeth D.

Bowling for a Cause Lucky Strike Lanes Announces Partnership with Breastcancer.org

Lucky Strike, the nation's premiere chain of upscale bowling and lounges, will begin its partnership with Breastcancer.org this month. Breastcancer.org is the leading online resource for breast health and breast cancer information and support.

Lucky Strike Manhattan, NY partnered in two successful events in the past which raised over $1.0 million for Breastcancer.org through the annual "Bowling for Breastcancer.org" event. The success of these events brought Lucky Strike and Breastcancer.org together to raise funds, build awareness and continue to educate on breast cancer. In the U.S. alone, it is estimated that there were over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in 2010 and over 2.5 million breast cancer survivors. It is projected that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, it is critical that people have access to essential information whenever they need it.

"This is the first national partnership of its kind for both Lucky Strike and Breastcancer.org and a great way to educate a young influential audience about the importance of breast cancer awareness," said Lucky Strike founder and CEO, Steven Foster.

Starting in October, National Breast Cancer Awareness month, Lucky Strike will be providing Breastcancer.org with marketing support, advertising exposure, online and social media inclusion throughout its venues. Guests will have the opportunity to donate and Lucky Strike will be donating 10% of food and beverage sales with any referral from Breastcancer.org for parties of 25 or more. Through this national partnership, people are offered an opportunity to have fun and support future enhancements of this global resource.
