An unprecedented 27 lanes of bowlers, broken down into teams of six players, participated in 90 minutes of bowling. The highest-scoring team and highest-scoring bowler were awarded with prizes. Both prizes went to returning King Pin Sponsors, Just Fur U.

Community members and sponsors of the event raised more than $5,000, which will be used toward scholarships and awards for active-duty servicemembers and veterans within the Phoenix area. The funding will assist in the presentation of two annual events organized by the Tempe MAC: the Copper 5 Awards and the Red, White & Blue Awards.
