MoneyWorld sponsors bowl-a-thon

     Century 21 MoneyWorld recently sponsored a bowl-a-thon to benefit the Las Vegas-based American Wheelchair Veterans Association.
      Dozens of MoneyWorld representatives, their families and friends raised $1,050 at the event, which was held last month at The Orleans.
      "Every penny of that goes to (the association), which among other things, offers free accommodations to wheelchair-bound people and their families visiting Las Vegas for up to a week," Andy Hrycyszyn, chairman of the realty firm's Community Action Committee, said.
      "Those who visit the ... organization from around the country are provided blankets, towels, dishes -- everything they need."
      The cottages can accommodate as many as three families at a time, Jason West, association spokesperson, said.
      "If a member of a family has someone in a wheelchair -- whether it's the child or the parent -- they can call us and see if we have a date available, and if we do, it's theirs. They can come stay with us," West said.
      The association also provides funding for wheelchair-related programs and holiday parties for disabled children.
      In addition, the organization also sponsors athletic events such as the Los Angeles and Boston marathons.
      "This is a local organization that we all can be proud of," Hrycyszyn said. "We had a great time bowling to support their outstanding efforts that help show off our city while helping those in wheelchairs in Las Vegas and around the country."
      Century 21 MoneyWorld has five offices in the Las Vegas Valley.Among the participants at Century 21 MoneyWorld's benefit bowl-a-thon at The Orleans are representatives of the realty firm, from top left, Rich Casto, Tina Culbertson, Andy Hrycyszyn and Bobbie Greene.
