Bowl for the Cure® is a year-round fund-raising and breast cancer awareness initiative sponsored by The Bowling Foundation and The United States Bowling Congress in partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a foundation that has raised over $1 billion as the world’s largest grassroots organization of breast cancer survivors and activists.

Since the initiative’s inception in 2000, people from across the country have hit the lanes to raise close to $8 million for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and its affiliates.

February is considered Bowl for the Cure month although events are encouraged year-round. Participants across the nation organize Bowl for the Cure® events, often designating one bowling session to donate a specific amount, such as one penny per pin, or by staging pledge nights, raffles and auctions. Whether on a large or small scale, each donation helps make a difference.
