Bowling Strikes to Fight Hunger This Holiday Season

For the past eleven years, Rex Golobic’s Serra Bowl in Daly City has been the site of a popular Bay Area holiday tradition.

The event is called Turkey Bowl and it occurs two days prior to Thanksgiving.  Pro bowlers, sports celebrities and the community volunteer their time and skills to bowl strikes for turkeys at Serra Bowl in Daly City. The money raised at the event buys turkeys to benefit the St. Anthony Dining Room as well as the North Peninsula Food Pantry & Dining Center of Daly City.

Rex Golobic and his family — the owners of Serra Bowl – have created this event to help feed the hungry over the holidays.   It has been successful since its very beginning and over 1,000 turkeys are contributed every year to help those in need.

The friars of St. Anthony’s also get to join in the fun and bowl strikes for turkeys in their robes.  They are quite good bowlers and receive excellent media coverage by the popular Bay Area sports anchors.

Rex Golobic and his family have been actively assisting the St. Anthony Foundation for over 36 years ever since the Golobic family ran Downtown Bowl in the Tenderloin.  The Golobics got involved in various neighborhood community volunteer projects to clean up the streets to make the Tenderloin a safer place.

From all of us at St. Anthony’s, we want to thank Rex Golobic and his family for their much appreciated support and generosity over the years.
