Friends and family of Greg “Bubba” Jacobson are hosting the 2nd annual Bubba Strong Bowling Tournament, to be held Sunday, February 26 at North Bowl Lanes in N. Attleboro, starting at 5 p.m. The event’s proceeds will be used to fund a scholarship for a King Philip senior impacted by a life-threatening illness.
Singles, pairs, and teams are welcome, with a cost of $25 per person, or $150 for a team of six. The fee includes two hours of bowling, plus shoe rentals. Awards will be given out in several categories. Children are welcome. Check-in begins at 4:45 p.m.
In 2015, Greg Jacobson was diagnosed with cancer during his senior year of high school. He is currently in remission, but his family was determined to pay back the generosity shown them by the community during his illness. They established the Bubba Strong Charitable Foundation, a 501c3 charity, to support families impacted by cancer and other serious illnesses.
To sign up for the tournament or for more information, visit www.bubbastrong.com or find it on Facebook. The registration deadline is February 15.
