Let's go Bowling

On Saturday, November 17 the Highland Friendship Club hosted its sixth annual Lanes For Friendship with the Minnesota Twins Joe Mauer and other special guests at AMF Saxson Lanes in St. Paul, MN. FILO Productions, Inc. sent two managers to assist in the operations aspect of the event. The event takes place every year to help benefit a non-profit organization, the Highland Friendship Club, that was created in 2002 by two local St. Paul parents who wanted to give young adults with disabilities an opportunity to spend time with their friends and experience new, fun and entertaining activities. The organization has more than 200 young adults who actively participate in a plethora of activities like bowling. The MVP Sponsor of the event every year is granted the opportunity to bowl with at least one Highland Friendship member and MLB Superstar, Joe Mauer. The event also hosts a silent auction with sports memorabilia and other items. There are games, door prizes, refreshments and a VIP luncheon sponsored by DeGidio’s, a local Italian restaurant. FILO was responsible for setting up signage for the event, as well as coordinating and providing an audio system and speakers at the bowling alley. 2012 marks the third consecutive year FILO Productions, Inc. has worked on the event. The four hour event took place from 12pm-4pm and included other recognized names like Hall of Famer Paul Molitor, Minnesota Twins reliever Glenn Perkins, current Field Manager Rod Gardenhire, the Minnesota Golden Gophers Baseball Team and KFAN Sports Radio’s Meatsauce and H Lake.
