Bowl-a-Thon Raises Funds for Dover Children's Home
A wildly successful fundraiser, for a very good cause, took place Sunday with the 11th annual Dover Bowl-A-Thon to raise money for the
Dover Children's Home.
The Dover Children's Home, incorporated in 1893, helps at-risk youth with housing, education and real-life skill training needed to help them move on to a more stable and successful life. Executive Director Renee Touhey-Childress said the event is one of the home's biggest fundraisers. Each year, Seacoast area residents put together teams to raise money and then spend a fun day bowling, eating alley food and just having a great time. While some of the teams are comprised of seasoned bowlers, others have never bowled at all and just want to help raise money.

Children's Museum Cuts Ribbon on Solar Panels
It was the culmination of a nearly two-year process to reduce the carbon footprint of households and businesses in the Seacoast region. Everyone involved, along with supporters and federal politicians, celebrated the installation of panels at an event held at the Children's Museum. They also unveiled a "The City in the Sea" mural by Seacoast Charter School student Sofia Self that is to be installed outdoors at the nearby Dover Adventure Playground later this year. Self's project was put together with the help of the Dover Rising Waters initiative to help spark discussions about the impacts of climate change.
