QUINCY — The All-Wars Museum at the Illinois Veterans Home received funds raised from the 13^th annual Pins for Patriots bowling fundraiser on March 9 at The Tangerine Bowl.

To help the museum recover from the recent loss of its biggest fundraiser, Pins for Patriots selected the museum as the beneficiary of this year’s event and donated $2,110.

The event attracted 120 bowlers. Local band Pepper Spray provided music.

Pins for Patriots has donated $24,760 to veteran’s organizations in and around Quincy.
