MANKATO, Minn. - Kids Against Hunger in association with Brown & Brown will be continuing the third annual Bowl-a-ton to help raise money for the relief efforts in Haiti and around the world.
The Bowl-a-thon will be on May 14, 2010, at the Wow! Zone located in Mankato. Everyone from the community is invited to attend.
