SAAF Bowling For Tommy

SAAF is an incredible organization with an outsize footprint in the Old Pueblo and surrounding areas.  I attempt to support them whenever possible as I know ever dollar of proceeds goes directly to support their mission.  SAAF is known for:

  • Providing support services for those living with HIV/AIDS
  • Supporting those affected by HIV/AIDS
  • Education for prevention of HIV

They serve around 1,300 clients each year, so they have a huge need for volunteering and donations.  Thankfully, they make it so easy and fun to give!  Come to the next Bowling for Tommy event to see what I mean!

What is SAAF Bowling For Tommy?

Named after the legendary Tucsonan Tommy Gin, this fun, family-oriented bowling tournament serves as a fitting legacy.  It is a fund-raising opportunity for SAAF and a great chance for you to have a good time for a fantastic cause.

When and Where is SAAF Bowling For Tommy?

Like most things Gay History in this country, it all started with Stonewall. Read all about it in our Brief History of Gay Pride in the US. It’s a fascinating look at where we’ve been with a nod towards where we are going.
