// BIG BOI //

We are extremely proud to announce a very special Labor Day event at Brooklyn Bowl with the ATL’s own Big Boi.  Outside of his primary roles as André 3000’s partner in OutKast and as one of the central members of the Dungeon Family, Big Boi (born Antwan André Patton) has appeared on tracks by Missy Elliott (“All N My Grill”), Trick Daddy (“In da Wind”), Jay-Z (“Poppin’ Tags”), Killer Mike (“A.D.I.D.A.S.”), Beyoncé (“Hip Hop Star”), Brooke Valentine (“Girlfight”), Sleepy Brown (“Margarita”), and Fantasia (“Hood Boy”).  Big Boi recently dropped the hottest hip hop record of the summer, the long-awaited, eclectically absurd “Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty”, and we are very excited to have him grace our stage at the Bowl.

Brooklyn Bowl is continuing its Our World Campaign this month with a Brooklyn-based fund drive that celebrates summer, youth and special opportunities.

Camp Brooklyn works to send kids from the borough to sleep away camps in the tri-state area. Through generous donations, camperships are awarded to deserving children ages 7-16 to attend one of the many outdoor camps in the surrounding metropolitan area.  Awarding children from such an urban environment as Brooklyn the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors, wildlife, and the starry night sky can change their lives forever. Now in its 8th year, Camp Brooklyn sent 403 children from the borough to great summer camps this summer.

Visit Brooklyn Bowl on Wednesday, July 28th for a Camp Brooklyn benefit performance presented by RXP with Locksley. Admission is free and donations will be accepted on behalf of Camp Brooklyn. More Information on this event can be found here.

To make a contribution you can call (718) 802-CAMP or visit  http://www.campbrooklyn.org/ and on Facebook.

// OUR WORLD STARTS IN GREENPOINT //

Our World is a place to explore the problems and much-needed solutions facing this planet. Brooklyn Bowl will continue its dedication to sustainability and a green Earth by highlighting worthy causes each month.

In April 2010, a devastating oil spill wrecked the Gulf of Mexico. Just a month later, nearly 200,000 tons worth of crude oil now sit in Gulf waters. As it comes closer and closer to shore, we are reminded of our own waterways here in Brooklyn.

Did you know that the spill in the Gulf is not the first time big oil companies have devastated the ecosystems in which they exploit for oil and profits? Despite the large volume of oil left untended in the Gulf, there’s a body of water even more so contaminated just a few miles from our front door. Newtown Creek in Greenpoint is little known yet has a long history of pollution dating back to the late 19th century. The creek waters are filled with anywhere from 17 to 30 million gallons of oil, and untold amounts of additional pollutants from the factories that line its shore.

While in future months to come we will expand Our World to larger organizations nationwide and internationally, we believe that the dire situation so close to home is in need of some attention.

If you would like to get involved with some of the organizations heading up the fight for clean waterways, you can contact these great organizations and get involved in the neighborhood:

NYC DEPT. OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION:This government Agency recently opened a visitors center on the Newtown Creek shore in Greenpoint.

HUDSON RIVER KEEPER: This organization hosts events for members and volunteers to benefit the water quality of the Hudson River and its tributaries.

NEWTOWN CREEK ALLIANCE: A local organization which is taking legal action towards the Big Oil Co’s.

The Leonard Lopate Show: A WNYC Broadcast features information about how the Creek is fairing today.
