Wishbook Funds Bring Bowling to RiverLedge

Audrey McGrath was among the first to try our the EZ Bowler.
OGDENSBURG – Thanks to a donation from the United Helpers RiverLedge Campus’ Wishbook residents will be able to enjoy the sport of bowling without even leaving their home.

Funds from the Wishbook were used to purchase an “EZ Bowler” bowling ramp. Audrey McGrath was among the first residents to check out their new toy.

“I always loved to bowl,” she said. “This ramp will help make bowling fun again. I can’t wait for the days we have bowling as an activity.”

The EZ Bowler is a ramp designed to make bowling easy for people with disabilities or those in wheelchairs. The ramp is easily movable so it can be lined up with the pins. Bowlers then place the ball atop the ramp and let it fly.

Each building has its own Wishbook account which is used to purchase items that enhance the quality of life for residents. The United Helpers Wish Book program raises funds and helps to offer friends, visitors and family members the opportunity to enhance the lives of residents by helping to grant a wish.


For further information on how you can donate to the Wishbook program or inquire on purchasing a Wishbook item in honor or in memory of someone, please contact the Society of the United Helpers at 393-3074 ext. 4230.
