Pledge – Per pin pledges are based on the score the bowler achieves. The minimum suggested per pin pledge is $0.25. For example, if a sponsor pledges 25 cents per pin and the bowler gets a score of 140, the sponsor‘s donation will be $35 (.25 cents times 140).
Note: the minimum score will be 100. Sponsors may also choose to make a flat rate pledge. The advantage of a flat rate pledge is that the bowler does not need to collect money after they bowl. They can collect the donation while getting sponsors.

UPDATE 4/30/12: BRING NICOLE HOME to #NM: THE WESTBROOK FAMILY HUMBLY ASKS FOR HELP IN COVERING FUNERAL EXPENSES.
Donate here to help bring Nicole home to be laid to rest with her fallen father and uncle in Farmington, NM.
Seattle, WA – Can you identify the man seen on this surveillance video?
Early in the morning on Sunday, April 22, Nicole Westbrook, and her boyfriend were just steps from their apartment near Pioneer Square when she was struck in the neck by a bullet fired from a passing car. Her murder in downtown Seattle after a night out at a comedy club “should outrage everyone because it could have happened to anyone”.
21 year old Nicole Westbrook had moved to Seattle from Albuquerque just weeks ago to study at the Art Institute there.
“There is somebody who knows who fired those shots…We will not rest until we find the person who fired that weapon, and we need the community’s help.”
-Seattle Mayor, Mike McGinn
The Westbrook family has already endured the ultimate sacrifice in service to this country first when Nicole’s father, Marshall Alan Westbrook, was killed while serving a volunteer tour with the U.S. military in Iraq and again when Nicole’s uncle, Kenneth Warren Westbrook, was killed while serving in Afghanistan. Nicole’s brother is just back from a tour of duty.
Now extended family, friends and community are seeking the public’s assistance in lending some justice to this senseless act of violence that has robbed them of their beloved Nicole.
Washington’s Most Wanted has featured Nicole’s story here with video of the tragic incident that took her life in an effort to prompt area citizens to come forward with ANY information that may lead to apprehending her killers.
An online community called Justice for Nicole has been established on Facebook, where information about the case and loving remembrances of Nicole can be posted. Please join and share to keep her memory alive and the search active.
Someone knows. Please come forward.
If you have any information on the identity of the man caught on tape running from the scene or the white vehicle, call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS. Your call is guaranteed to be anonymous and there is a cash reward for information.

The National MS Society is currently ramping-up their PEDAL LOS PUEBLOS 2011 in Northern New Mexico find out more and join the crusade here.
Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disease that affects people in many different ways. It could be paralysis one day, loss of vision the next or impaired memory the day after that. Living with MS means living with uncertainty.
When it comes to MS, only two things are certain:
· Another American is newly diagnosed every hour of every day.
· Many people are joining the movement toward a world free of MS including me.
Why We’re Biking
We’ve registered for the Bike MS: Pedal los Pueblos 2011 because we want to experience a great, organized ride, and to help the National MS Society fund research, advocate for change, and help people with MS and their families lead powerful lives. We believe in the work they do and want to be part of it.

Albuquerque son Neil Patrick Harris returns next month to make good on his quick commitment to help revive a tragedy stricken branch of his New Mexico family tree.
Musical Theatre Southwest in NE Albuquerque, Harris’ home town, was ravaged by flames in May as we told you here last month.
The Harris Family will host a fund raising dinner on August 22nd at their local restaurant Perennials.
Only 100 tickets will be made available at $150 ea.
Tickets must be purchased in advanced and will not be sold at the door
of the red carpet event. If you would like to buy tickets, you can call
Musical Theatre Southwest at 265-9119.
“The fire devastated the theatre company, but we have been amazed
at the outpouring of community support, including the generosity of Neil’s
family,” said board member Rick Huff, who has worked with the theatre
company for more than 40 years.
“Many New Mexico families literally grew up seeing and participating in
the productions of the theatre company. It’s so moving to see them come
back and support MTS after this tragedy,”
- William Stafford, of Musical Theatre Southwest.

Anydigress, loudmouthed New Mexico resident Don Imus of radio fame and logorrhea infamy turns 70 this Friday.
Like many of his fellow New Mexicans (home grown & adopted), Imus does his share of dogooding from this scenic & spiritual Southwest base.
The Imus Ranch in Ribera, New Mexico is a working cattle ranch for kids with cancer. At the Imus Ranch online Store you can purchase coffees, salsa, chips, Green Cleaning products and Ranch hats & mugs – 100% of the proceeds benefit the work they do there.
More on the oft offensive I-man here, from the NY Daily News.
If you’re going to find yourself in the Los Angeles area in the near future and you want to spend a magical night with NM’s Own Neil Patrick Harris, there’s still time to bid on a dinner for four at the famed Hollywood Magic Castle where you will be joined by NPH himself.
Current bidding stands at $2,500 with proceeds to benefit Project Angel Food, whose mission is “to nourish the body and spirit of men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses. Volunteers and staff cook and deliver free and nutritious meals prepared with love throughout Los Angeles County, acting out of a sense of urgency because hunger and illness do not wait.”
That may seem a little pricey being that it is at the high-end for average monthly income of most employed New Mexicans – but we’re sure NPH will get an even heftier haul from someone with beaucoup disposable cash and it’s so good to see our home boy giving back here, there and everywhere he can!
When the patriarch of our family was first diagnosed in the early stages of prostate cancer it was oddly sobering when a very sexy scientist told me that most men will be affected by prostate cancer at some point in their life.
Maybe not so odd when you consider that the number one thought of comfort to fearful flyers is that they are not alone on their flight (even above their faith), and like air travel you don’t have to fly alone in your fight against cancer.
Fact is, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men after lung – but fortunately it is one of the most treatable.
Unfortunately, a walk to the Doc’s office isn’t always the easiest to take or make with or for you or your man. NM’s Own Joe Diaz is at the helm in spreading awareness of early detection, treatment and support for affected families.
Join Joe and the Prostate Cancer Support Association of New Mexico (pcsanm.org) on Saturday June 12 for the first annual 5k Prostate Cancer Awareness Walk.
