On Wednesday, September 24th, PINSTACK Las Colinas was filled with excitement as teams and their spirited fans came together for the 6th Annual Las Colinas Game-A-Thon, benefitting the Irving Family Advocacy Center (IFAC) and produced by the Las Colinas Association. The reimagined charity fundraising event expanded beyond the lanes, adding trivia and arcade competitions alongside bowling, creating a high-energy night of non-stop fun.
Through the generous support of community partners, sponsors and attendees, a record-breaking $47,089 was raised for IFAC.
In addition to the fundraising fanatics, teams vied for awards across bowling, trivia, and arcade challenges. This year’s top honors included:

The evening was hosted by celebrity emcees Sam Gannon and Mike Doocy from Fox 4 and David Cole, Vice President and Owner of I Fratelli Pizza, keeping the crowd entertained as winners were announced and milestones celebrated. Over 30 volunteers from IFAC and the community made the night possible, ensuring every detail was executed seamlessly.
The much-anticipated Bowl with the Chiefs packages returned, giving lucky teams the chance to bowl alongside Irving’s Police and Fire Chiefs. The Stop, Drop, and Bowl package, sponsored by Oncor, featured Chief Conley leading The Power Strikers. Chief Miller teamed up with The Pfaff Family for the Bowl with the Blue package, taking the lanes as You Have the Right to Remain Strikeless.
With all teams and sponsorships sold out, Stay & Play Pass holders cheering on their favorite teams and dozens of volunteers supporting the event, the atmosphere was buzzing from start to finish.
