The Western Oklahoma State College Foundation held
its second annual Foundation Bowling Tournament at the Town and
Country Bowling Lanes in Altus on September 10. Sixteen student
organizations competed in hopes of taking home the coveted trophy.
The Western Radiographers defended their title from last year and
were named the 2007 tournament champions.
The WOSC Foundation Bowling Tournament is made possible through the
efforts of a large number of individuals. Western’s Office of
College & HS Relations promotes the event within the school in order
to get student participation and provides funding for the use of the
bowling alley.
NAIFA – Southwest Oklahoma (National Association of Insurance and
Financial Advisors) contributes $100 per team to cover the cost of
entry. This enables each student organization to compete in the
competition for free.
This year, $1,600 was raised and will be placed in the NAIFA –
Southwest Oklahoma scholarship endowment. Two worthy second semester
sophomore students will be awarded a $250 scholarship each through
this program.
