A Night of Fun With a Purpose
What if your next night out with friends could also change someone’s life? That’s exactly what’s happening on Friday, October 10, 2025, when Integrated Healthcare Systems, Inc. (IHCS) hosts its annual Strikes 4 Homelessness Bowling Fundraiser at Lucky Strike in Jupiter, FL.
Behind the laughter, competition, and rolling strikes lies a deeper mission: to provide housing and supportive services for unsheltered neighbors in Palm Beach County.
This event isn’t just about knocking down pins—it’s about knocking down barriers to stability, hope, and home.
Why Homelessness in Palm Beach County Matters
Homelessness remains one of the most pressing challenges in our community. According to the Palm Beach County Homeless Coalition, more than 3,000 individuals experience homelessness each year in the county alone. Many of them are families, veterans, and youth who lack access to safe housing and essential services.
Events like Strikes 4 Homelessness play a vital role in raising both awareness and funds. The proceeds from the night will directly support IHCS’s mission of connecting people with the resources they need—from emergency housing to long-term stability programs.
Honoring World Homeless Day 🌍
This year’s event also carries a special meaning: it will be held in honor of World Homeless Day (October 10). Recognized globally, World Homeless Day raises awareness of the needs of people experiencing homelessness and encourages communities to take action.
By aligning Strikes 4 Homelessness with this important day, IHCS is shining a spotlight on local challenges while joining a worldwide movement to bring hope, compassion, and solutions to those without stable housing.
What to Expect at Strikes 4 Homelessness 🎳
A Bowling Night With Extras
The fundraiser isn’t your typical night at the bowling alley. Here’s what makes it special:
- Up to 25 lanes, 5 bowlers per lane → Bring your team or join one.
- Food packages available → Fuel your game while supporting the cause.
- Raffles, prizes, and team awards → Every strike could mean a reward beyond the pins.
- All-inclusive registration → Your team fee includes food and shoe rental.
This means you don’t just show up to bowl—you join a movement with every roll.
Stories Behind the Strikes
At the heart of Strikes 4 Homelessness is a simple truth: every person without a home has a story—and every strike bowled brings them closer to a new chapter.
For some, that story is about rebuilding after losing steady work. For others, it’s about finding stability after years of uncertainty. Many are parents doing everything they can to provide for their children, veterans searching for a safe place to call home, or young people navigating life without family support.
These are the lives touched when our community comes together. The funds raised from this event don’t just support programs on paper—they help people rediscover dignity, stability, and hope for the future.
Every lane filled, every raffle ticket purchased, and every cheer in the bowling alley becomes part of someone’s journey toward home.

The Bigger Picture
Strikes 4 Homelessness is more than a fundraiser—it’s a community-driven solution to one of the most urgent challenges we face. By combining fun, teamwork, and generosity, IHCS is showing that solving big problems doesn’t always require serious settings. Sometimes, it just takes a ball, some pins, and a community willing to show up.
