bowl-a-thon
Prolonged alley fundraiser
A bowl-a-thon is a bowling event organized as a fundraiser, where participants gather pledges based on their scores or participation.
Like other -a-thon formations (walkathon, readathon), the suffix signals an extended activity done for charitable purposes: Our youth group raised three thousand dollars at the bowl-a-thon.
