The National Association of Letter Carriers, NALC, has lead the search to stamp out neuromuscular diseases for half a century being the first official national sponsor since 1952. Neither rain, sleet or snow keep these letter carriers from their commitment to stamp out Muscular Dystrophy. In the past 15 years they earned over $20 million for the MDA.
On Sunday, January 13th, Local NALC Branch 1690 will enjoy a day of bowling, food, and fun while supporting their long time favorite cause. The event will take place at Saint Lucie Lanes, 6759 South US Highway 1 in Port Saint Lucie from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM

The public is welcome to participate in the fundraising for this most worthwhile cause by donating $20, which includes 2 hours of bowling and rental shoes along with the chance to win door prizes, raffles and 50/50's. All proceeds go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. 

"It's great to see letter carriers help cure muscular dystrophy on their day off, especially when they have fun doing it," NALC President Frederick Rolando stated. "The bowlathon has raised many thousands of dollars in a single day for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the union's official charity." www.mda.org or www.nalc.org/commun/mda/.

We are focused on improving the lives of all residents on the Treasure Coast and joining forces with the NALC in the fight against Muscular Dystrophy is just one of the ways we prove our ongoing commitment.
