Autism Connections' 10th Annual Spares & Strikes Bowl-A-Thon
10 Years. 10 Pins. 10 Frames. One Incredible Community.
This year, Spares & Strikes is celebrating a milestone: 10 years of teams, supporters, sponsors and community members coming together in support of Autism Connections.
The 10th Annual Spares & Strikes Bowl-A-Thon will take place on Sunday, November 22nd, 2026 at 1:00 pm at The Drome by Trailway, 301 Main Street in Fredericton.
In the weeks leading up to the event, participating teams collect pledges from friends, family members, coworkers and other supporters. The money raised supports and supplements Autism Connections' work throughout the year, including programs, activities, resources, services and the day-to-day operations that make that work possible. On November 22, our teams will come together at The Drome to celebrate the campaign with an afternoon of bowling.
Last year, 12 teams took part and together raised $33,010 for Autism Connections. This year, we are looking forward to bringing the community together again for a special 10th anniversary!

Thank you, Jack's Pizza!
As we celebrate 10 years of Spares & Strikes, we’re also celebrating the community supporters who have helped make this event special along the way.
For many of those years, Jack’s Pizza has generously supplied the pizza for our Bowl-a-Thon—and they’re back again for our 10th anniversary! Their support extends beyond the bowling lanes, too, with Jack’s showing up for Autism Connections at events like our Superhero Fun-Run/Walk and other community fundraisers.
We’re incredibly grateful to have Jack’s Pizza in our corner year after year. 10 years, 10 pins, 10 frames—and many slices shared along the way!
