Strike up some fun for a great cause!

Friends of Detroit Animal Care & Control (FoDACC) is proud to participate in the 20th Annual B4AR Bowling Fundraiser on Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM at Country Lanes.

This fun-filled evening will bring together animal lovers from across Metro Detroit to raise funds that directly support homeless, neglected, and abandoned animals in our community. Whether you bowl, donate, sponsor, fundraise, or simply help spread the word, every contribution helps FoDACC continue providing lifesaving support to Detroit's shelter animals.

Join Team FoDACC as we bowl for a cause and work together to give animals the second chances they deserve.

Why Your Support Matters
