As many of you may know:

On August 9, 2009, Typhoon Morakot slammed into Taiwan with the equivalence of a category 2 hurricane. Morakot is the deadliest typhoon to impact Taiwan in recorded history. The typhoon dumped as much as 80 inches of rain triggering a mudslide burying up to 600 people in a mountain village of Pingtung in southern Taiwan, as well as causing catastrophic damage to other areas of the country.

The Houston Asian Jaycees aim to raise funds through a bowling competition to support emergency relief efforts in Taiwan.

Hosted by 300 Houston Bowling, teams of 4 people will battle it out to see who can reach 1200 points! Each team will have one warm up game, and then the competition will begin. The team with the score closest to 1200 will be crowned the “Bowling for Relief” Taiwan Relief Fund Champion.
