PITTSBURGH, PA. (November 6, 2013) – Prudential Preferred Realty, a leading real estate company in Southwestern Pennsylvania, raised over $27,000 at their fifth annual Bowl-a-thon to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The fundraiser took place on Saturday, October 26 at Meadows Race Track and Casino in Washington, PA.
