Skeeball in the Nation's Capital: Gaining Momentum!
WASHINGTON, March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- United Skeeball Association opened its doors as the first Skeeball League in the Washington DC area in September of 2009. Since then United Skeeball has grown to over 1,000 players participating in leagues in four different bars, five nights a week.
United Skeeball aims to reinvent a favorite childhood game into a social activity for adults by combining friends, a fun bar atmosphere and the timelessness of Skeeball into one fun package. Friends come together for weekly Skeeball games and good times while they enjoy food and drink discounts and other player perks.
In addition to bringing players together for weekly Skeeball battles, USA has also been hosting a variety of special events all over the city through its Meetup.com group. The United Skeeball Super Bowl party drew an impressive crowd even in the middle of the blizzard of 2010. United Skeeball often joins up with area sponsors to make these events even more exciting by offering amazing prizes. The prizes have included a private table at a popular DC bar for the 2010 Super Bowl and several trips for two to Las Vegas for the World's Largest Pool Party.
United Skeeball is not just about having fun. It is also about helping out the community. Beyond organizing Skeeball leagues and special events, USA also regularly hosts fundraisers. Nearly $1,000 was raised for the victims of the earthquake in Port Au Prince Haiti and a Bar Triathlon will be held March 27, 2010 to support A-SPAN.org*, a non-profit that provides life-sustaining services for Arlington's street homeless. Then in early March United Skeeball has partnered with the Hope Marietta Foundation** to host a fundraiser to benefit children born with congenital heart conditions.
United Skeeball, founded during a recession, has found the right blend of entertainment, community outreach and business sense to continue into its third registration skeeson. They employ two part time workers and are aiming to bring on a full time coordinator soon.
