Community Partners of Lubbock, a nonprofit agency that supports Children’s Protective Services (CPS) and the families they serve, is holding Strikes for Tykes, a casual, fun bowling tournament at Whitewood Lanes, Saturday, August 6th at 7 p.m.. Up to 32 team lanes are available. Teams are comprised of 4 individuals and team price is $350. Superior HealthPlan is the corporate sponsor and Vista Bank will be providing food.

CPS is the state agency mandated by law to handle allegations of child abuse and neglect. Proceeds from the event will help to fund the various projects overseen by Community Partners in support of the children and families helped by CPS:
- The Lubbock County Rainbow Room – A storeroom full of items needed by children involved with CPS, including clothing, school supplies, hygiene items, and other basic necessities. These items are available for CPS caseworkers to obtain for their clients free of charge, including emergency situations.
- Elf Drive – An annual event that provides holiday gifts for hundreds of Lubbock County kids in foster care.
- Adopt-a-Caseworker Program – A program designed to link community sponsors and resources with CPS caseworkers in order to meet needs not covered by state and federal funding.
