2024 Joe Parise Bowling Tournament Held

By Tina M. Payton

OPH hosted their annual Joe Parise Bowling Tournament on Feb 23, 2024 at Stillwater Bowl. We had an amazing turn out with a total of 14 teams of 60+ bowlers from OPH, STW and Central Office. This has surpassed any other year since we had our first annual event back in 2016.

The honorary first bowl came from Sgt. Amy Winkel who retired at OPH recently and served four years in the Air Force. Back on the leaderboard is Team Unbowlievables: Todd Anderson, Dan Minke, Max Kuhn, Don Thibodeau, Derek Schultz. Congrats on your great game!! Grand prize was $150 and they were gracious enough to donate it back into the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon here at OPH.

High score winners came from Bridget Hopkins and Max Kuhn (family and friends of OPH staff). Low score winners came from Amy Winkel (Retired Sgt.) and Jose Mendez (Minncor). Great job on being gracious and humble winners!

Thank you for the veterans that came, we appreciate your service. For all those that participated and stopped by to show their support. Thank you to the BTYR OPH committee for setting up this event: TDS Tina Payton, Capt. Bronson Austreng, Physical Plant Brent Sharon, and CM Dani Kimmes.
