Think ice bowling can beat out ‘push ups’?

Some may remember that in 2010, the campus rallied to raise more than $8,700 during the Push-Ups for Haiti event.

This UNMC bowling pin goes to the winner of tonight’s Human Ice Bowling contest.

As of Thursday at 5 p.m., our human bowling ball candidates had secured more than $7,300 in pledges for the Skate-a-thon for Parkinson’s Human Bowling Contest. (EDITOR’S NOTE: You could say they’re on a roll. … OK, I’ll stop.)

So the question is, can the campus top the total from Push-Ups for Haiti?

You have until 8:30 p.m. today to donate to your favorite bowling ball candidate’s campaign.

To pledge, email the candidates listed below and let them know you’d like to contribute to their campaigns. Then after you pledge, come out tonight at 9 to see your favorite candidate flung down the ice.
