Max Keeping Bowl-a-thon raises thousands for charity

Enthusiastic bowlers hit the lanes for charity Sunday at the Max Keeping Birthday Bowl-a-thon.

The 17th annual event raised over $88, 000 for Keeping's foundation which helps disadvantaged children in the Ottawa area.

The bowl-a-thon has raised more than one million dollars since its incarnation in 1994.
