Each year, the Nation's Capital Area USBC Association conducts various fundraising campaigns to support the Bowler to Veterans Link charity.  This year, our pro shop is attempting to raise $2,000 to help them send 4 portable bowling lanes to active duty troops.

Bowling Salutes America’s Troops,”was introduced in 2005 by  BVL.  It has now delivered more than 550 kits to troops deployed on active duty in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Korea and a host of other countries. The program has been tremendously successful  providing soldiers, sailors and airmen an opportunity to take a break from the stresses of their jobs and enjoy the fun and camaraderie of the game of bowling. The kit consists of a 26 foot long red, white and blue carpet bowling lane, a 5 lb. rubberized bowling ball and lightweight plastic bowling pins. The lane, ball and pins, packaged in a nylon carrying bag, can be set up in a few minutes time, whenever a break in the schedule permits.

This is but one of the programs funded by BVL.  You can read more about this organization and what you can do to help at www.BowlforVeterans.org
