Redding Community Builders

🎳 Strike Out Cancer — What a Success! 🎗️

This morning, Redding Community Builders had the incredible privilege of presenting Mercy Foundation North with the proceeds from our 2026 Strike Out Cancer Bowl-a-Thon! This year’s check totaled $13,049.05, surpassing our 2025 total!

This check represents the generosity of an amazing community that showed up, gave generously, sponsored, donated, bowled, and helped make this event such a success. We simply could not have done it without our incredible sponsors and participants!

A very special shoutout to our Bowl-a-Thon committee members — Rhonda Hanson, Sandy Smith, and Chris Goddard — who spent months working behind the scenes to bring it all together. Their time, energy, and dedication were invaluable!

It was also a pleasure to work closely with Haley Kennedy of Mercy Foundation North as part of our committee. Her input has helped shape the event, and this year she helped connect us with some of the doctors, nurses, and staff who will be providing care at this incredible center, making the mission behind the event feel even more tangible.

We are so proud of what our community accomplished together.
Thank you, Redding, for helping us Strike Out Cancer! 🎳❤️

👕🎨 BEHIND THE SHIRTS: Boundary Waters 🎨👕

Some contributions to this year's event don’t fit neatly into a sponsorship category — but they deserve a BIG thank you all the same.

Enter Michael, Trevor, and the team at Boundary Waters Screenprinting. ❤️

When we started dreaming up event shirts for this year’s event, Michael and Trevor jumped right into the idea with us. They’ve been incredibly generous with their time, expertise, creativity, and pricing — giving us an amazing deal on our shirts that makes a very real difference to this event and the cause we’re working so hard to support.

Simply put: they’re good humans who didn’t hesitate to help. And we think people should know about businesses like that. ❤️

Boundary Waters offers custom screen printing, and Michael also happens to be an incredibly talented artist. So if you need custom shirts or screen printing, we’d love for you to keep them in mind. Supporting businesses that show up for their community is one of the best ways we can say thank you in return!

We’re so excited for our teams to receive their event shirts, made possible through the support of our Wear It Proud Sponsor, Simpson University, AND the incredible people at Boundary Waters who are helping us bring them to life. 👕🎗️

THANK YOU for diving into this project with us and for being part of what makes Strike Out Cancer so special. We appreciate you! 🎳🎗️❤️

👕🎗️ SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: Simpson University 🎗️👕

We’re excited to welcome Simpson University back to the Strike Out Cancer Bowl-a-Thon — this year as our "Wear It Proud" Sponsor!

Simpson is helping make our 2026 event shirts possible! Participating teams will receive their shirts at the Bowl-a-Thon as a special part of this year’s event. 🎳👕

What we love most about these shirts is that their impact can continue long after the last pin falls. Every shirt that gets worn around our community after the event becomes a lasting reminder of an afternoon when so many people came together to support Mercy Foundation North's efforts in bringing the Sierra Pacific Regional Cancer Center to Redding. 🎗️

Thank you, Simpson University, for helping us WEAR IT PROUD as we STRIKE OUT CANCER! 👕🎳🎗️❤️

We’ll see you at the lanes on August 22!

🎳 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: Matrix Cards & Games 🎳

We’re excited to welcome Matrix Cards & Games back to the Strike Out Cancer Bowl-a-Thon — and this year, they’re joining us as a Strike Sponsor! 🎗️❤️

We love seeing local businesses return year after year to support this event, and we’re especially grateful to Matrix Cards & Games for continuing their support and stepping up their sponsorship for 2026.

It’s community partners like these who help make the Strike Out Cancer Bowl-a-Thon possible and help us raise funds for Mercy Foundation North and the important work they are doing to bring the Sierra Pacific Regional Cancer Center to our town.

Thank you, Matrix Cards & Games, for coming back for another year and helping us STRIKE OUT CANCER! 🎳🎗️

We can’t wait to see you at the lanes on August 22!

We’re less than TWO WEEKS away from the 2026 Strike Out Cancer Bowl-a-Thon, and we are officially down to just…

🎳 TWO. LANES. LEFT. 🎳

We have been absolutely blown away by the support and we would LOVE to fill those final two lanes before event day! ❤️

There’s still time to join us as a Strike Sponsor, or make an even bigger splash as our Signature Sip Sponsor! 🍹🎗️

Either way, you’ll be joining an incredible group of local businesses and community members coming together for an afternoon of bowling, friendly competition, and supporting Mercy Foundation North and the Sierra Pacific Regional Cancer Center.

📅 Saturday, August 22
⏰ 2–5 PM

Interested in sponsoring one of our final lanes? Send us a message ASAP!

🎳 **SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: Win-River Resort & Casino** 🎳

We’re excited to welcome back Win-River Resort & Casino as a Strike Sponsor for the 2026 Strike Out Cancer Bowl-a-Thon! 🎗️

Win-River has been a tremendous supporter of this event — but we should probably also issue a warning to the other teams:

🏆 They’re the team to beat. 🏆

For the past two Bowl-a-Thons, Win-River’s bowlers have dominated the lanes, taking home top honors in both the individual and team scores. Apparently, supporting a great cause AND being ridiculously good at bowling go hand-in-hand. 😏🎳

So the big question for 2026 is…

CAN THEY DO IT AGAIN?! 👀🔥

We’ll find out Saturday, August 22!

A huge thank you to Win-River Resort & Casino for once again stepping up as a Strike Sponsor and helping us Strike Out Cancer in support of Mercy Foundation North and Sierra Pacific Regional Cancer Center. ❤️🎗️

🎳💙 Sponsor Spotlight! 💙🎳

Today we're excited to recognize Miller Trucking for their generous support of the 3rd Annual Strike Out Cancer Bowl-a-Thon as one of this year's Strike Sponsors!

While you won't find Miller Trucking on Facebook, we absolutely wanted to take a moment to recognize their continued commitment to our community. They joined us for last year's event, and we're so grateful to have them back again this year.

Support from businesses like Miller Trucking helps make this event possible and allows us to continue raising funds for Mercy Foundation North and the Sierra Pacific Regional Cancer Center, benefiting local patients and families facing cancer.

When you have the opportunity, we encourage you to support the local businesses that give back to our community in such meaningful ways.

💙 Thank you, Miller Trucking, for once again being part of the Strike Out Cancer family! We truly appreciate your generosity and partnership.
