The labor community raised over $30,000 for the Saint Paul Regional Labor Federation’s nonprofit arm, the St. Paul Labor Studies and Resource Center (LSRC), at Labor Bowl last month.
As part of the AFL-CIO Community Services program, the St. Paul LSRC connects union members and their families to community resources during layoffs, work stoppages and other times of financial stress. The LSRC also provides direct financial assistance to union members through its Emergency Fund.
Labor Bowl marked its 15th anniversary as a fundraiser for the LSRC this year. Held May 7 at Sun Ray Lanes in St. Paul, the event featured raffles, drawings and prizes for high- and low-scorers across three shifts.
High scorers were Chris Peltier (LIUNA Local 563) and Jessica Harwath (Bakery Workers Local 22) in the first shift; Ron Laumeyer (Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005) and Jess Darmen (Painters Local 61) in the second; and Laumeyer (again!) and D Rojas (Carpenters Local 322) in the third.
The LSRC and the Regional Labor Federation thank the bowlers, sponsors and volunteers, as well as Sun Ray Lanes, for making Labor Bowl 2026 a success!
