Description

On Thursday, October 23rd, the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce’s fan-favourite bowling tournament returns for its fifth year — and this time, The V Stands for Victory! Benefitting Simcoe Hall Settlement House, our goal is to collect literal tonnes of food for those in need as we head into the holiday season.

The 2025 costume theme? Famous Squads! Round up your crew and hit the lanes as the Scooby Gang, the Spice Girls, the Avengers, or any iconic group of your choice. (Up to six bowlers per team — perfect for your favourite ensemble cast!)

Participants are encouraged to donate as much food from the needs list as possible. The team who brings in the most donations will be rewarded for their generosity. (A full list of requested items will be emailed after registration.)

Team entry includes:
Up to 6 bowlers
Two rounds of bowling (+ shoe rental)
Dinner, snacks and a beverage

Multiple teams per company/organization are welcome — and encouraged! And don't worry if you're a solo bowler, we can team you up with some other great individual players. 

Bring your A-game, your costumes, and your canned goods, and let’s make Bowling for Glory V the biggest (and most victorious) tournament yet!

Prizes will be awarded to those that achieve Glory including:
Highest Scoring Team - Free Team Admission to Bowling for Glory VI in 2026 (to defend your title, of course!)
Best Dressed Team
Most Food Donated

4:00 - 5:00 pm: Registration and Networking
