The Bowlers to Veterans Link

☀️ This summer, your moments can mean more. 🇺🇸

Every backyard cookout, family outing, bowling trip, and summer memory is a reminder of the freedoms made possible by those who served.

This season, you can help improve veterans’ lives by supporting programs that provide recreation, connection, and meaningful experiences for those who sacrificed for our country. ❤️

Because sometimes making a difference doesn’t require changing your summer plans; it just means making summer count.

Join Bowling Veterans Link in helping create brighter days for veterans this summer.

🎳 BVL Board Member Spotlight: Darlene 🇺🇸

Darlene is a retired CFO at Piatt County Mental Health Center, current President of the Illinois State USBC, and proudly serves as a Director and Ambassador for BVL, Bowling’s Own Charity.

With several family members who have served in the Navy, Air Force, and Army, BVL’s mission is deeply personal to her. While her loved ones returned home safely, she knows many veterans face lasting challenges after their service. She believes the programs and support funded by BVL can make a real difference in veterans’ lives.

Darlene’s bowling journey began at just 8 years old, growing up in a bowling family alongside her four siblings. One of her proudest moments in the sport was being inducted into the USBC Hall of Fame, an honor she credits to the support of family and friends throughout more than 50 years of association work.

Thank you, Darlene, for your leadership, dedication, and passion for serving veterans through bowling. 💙
