Candlelight Bowl to Fund Tim Nickos Scholarship

Tim Nickos was an amazing individual who lived every day to the fullest by inspiring and motivating others through his contagious smile and great sense of humor. Tim was to be the captain of the Oak Lawn Community High School varsity swim team his senior year and was also a proud member of the OLCHS band. Most importantly, Tim always provided for everyone around him. Tim was tragically taken from us in his sleep at the young age of 17. He had a heart condition called Cardiomegaly (enlarged heart) that went undiagnosed. This led to cardiac arrhythmia, which took his life on June 28, 2011.

A Candlelight Bowl will take place on Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 8:00p.m. at Fox Bowl, located at 1101 Butterfield Road in Wheaton, IL.  Money raised will fund The Tim Nickos Memorial Scholarship, which will grant one $2500 scholarship to an OLCHS student to help with college tuition. The winner will be announced at the Spring Sports Award Ceremony.

Tickets are $25 for students or $30 for adults and include three games of bowling and dinner. There will also be a cash bar, raffle prizes and split the pot. Additional information is available on the OLCHS website
