A Marlborough resident recently joined Revolution players at the 3rd Annual Bowl for a Goal to support Special Olympics Massachusetts.

MARLBOROUGH, MA—Beth Donahue, 22, a Special Olympics Massachusetts athlete from Marlborough, attended the New England Revolution’s Bowl for a Goal on Wednesday, July 26, at Splitsville Luxury Lanes at Patriot Place. Donahue and other Special Olympics MA athletes spent the evening bowling with her favorite Revolution players, coaches and local celebrities, said the announcement.

Not only did the players and coaching staff join the Special Olympic MA athletes on the lanes, but they also jumped on-stage to sing some of their favorite karaoke songs including Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It Thank Way,” and Journey’s "Don't Stop Believing."
