With our Celebrity Strikeout anniversary event we’re able to extend our gratitude, have a great time, and continue our mission to give back.”
The Harlem Lanes Presents: Celebrity Strikeout will be the grand finale in a series of community-oriented events at Harlem Lanes during April and May (e.g. Kids’ Day Free Bowl, Karaoke, Jazz Night, etc.) to commemorate the venue’s 4 year anniversary.
