We’re proud to share that the 28th Annual Fenix Memorial Bowling Tournament raised $10,753.56 for Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation INC.

Thank you to everyone who bowled, donated, sponsored, and supported this event. Your generosity helps provide life-changing guide dogs at no cost to the people who need them.

With this year’s total, our Lions Club has now donated just over $300,000 through this tournament. John and Pat Garoppolo started this fundraiser, and we are proud to continue their work, especially in memory of Pat, who passed away this past fall.

27th Annual Fenix Memorial Bowling Tournament was a success!

The Manchester and Vernon Lions Clubs are thrilled to share the fundraising results from the 27th Annual Fenix Bowling Tournament, held on Sunday, April 6th, 2025: Thanks to the generosity of many, we raised an astounding $9,660.64 this year!

We had 138 participants support the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation on Sun. April 6th, 2025.
This impressive amount will go directly towards providing guide dogs to the visually impaired and blind at no cost to them. Over the past 27 years, our fundraiser has raised over $290,000 for this wonderful cause.
A special thank you, as always, goes to John and Pat Garoppolo, who started this tournament in honor of John's beloved first Fidelco Guide Dog, Fenix, many years ago. Your legacy continues to make a huge impact!
Thank you to the sponsors and businesses that donated, and to everyone who participated and supported this fantastic event.
