“Strike Out Lupus” is a bowling fundraiser to benefit the Michigan Lupus Foundation. The next event will be held on May 15, 2027 at Royal Scot (4722 W. Grand River, Lansing 48906). Participants get three games of bowling, rental shoes, pizza, and pop; cost per bowler is $30 and $25 for kids 12 and under. We also have mystery pots, brackets, and door prize raffles. Starting in January, you can sign up in four person groups, partial groups, or individuals. We will put partial groups and individuals together to fill the lanes. Check in begins at 2:45pm, the lupus presentation at 3:45pm, and bowling starts at 4:00pm.
CONTEST: The two individuals who raise the most funds will receive a special prize on event day, but must be present to win, and please pre-register. All individuals who raise at least $125 will get a lane for four bowlers. Ask your co-workers, the company you work for, family, and friends. Start early and get creative!
May 2018 was the inaugural event; I started the fundraiser at the suggestion of my husband who is a 24-year lupus survivor. Our goal is to raise awareness about this deadly disease in addition to raising funds to help support programs that benefit sufferers and their families.
ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE EVENT GO DIRECTLY TO THE
MICHIGAN LUPUS FOUNDATION!
UPDATES FROM THE 2026 EVENT COMING SOON!
In 2019 we had 24 lanes, then 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due the the Covid pandemic, and in 2022 we bounced back to have 24 lanes again, but 2023 was a slow year and in 2024 we had to cancel due to schedule conflicts. 2025 was slow again because we were on the holiday weekend. For 2026, the goal is to fill at least 40 lanes and set a participation record! Check-in/late registration is 2:45pm-3:45pm, bowling 4pm-7pm. Start time is subject to change if additional activities are added. Spectators are welcome and there is no admission fee.

REGISTRATION: There are several ways to register - You can use the email registration form above or or contact us by phone or text at 517-798-1878. You can also email directly to vania@eventsbyvania.com.
Early registration is GREATLY appreciated and I encourage anyone interested to register as soon as possible to reserve your lane; payment can be submitted later, even on event day!
It will be much easier to reserve the appropriate number of lanes if participants submit their forms prior to the event; having an accurate count will be very helpful as I move forward with the planning! If you are unable to attend or prefer not to bowl, we will also be accepting donations.
Checks for registration and donations should be made payable to “Michigan Lupus Foundation”.
