Last
season, USBC members across the country raised more than $1 million for
Bowl for the Cure. Can they best that figure this season? Now's the
time to act: February is Bowl for the Cure month.
Bowl for the Cure is a nationwide fund-raising initiative organized by USBC in partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Since the program's inception in 2000-01, USBC members have raised more
than $6 million, earning USBC a spot in Susan G. Komen for the Cure's
"Million-Dollar Council" along with KitchenAid, M&Ms, Yoplait and
others.
Proceeds from local Bowl for the Cure events stay in
the local community, directly benefiting the community's Susan G. Komen
for the Cure Affiliate in their efforts to support breast cancer
research, education, screening and treatment.
USBC leagues across the nation organize Bowl for the Cureevents
in February, often designating one bowling session to donate a specific
amount, such as one nickel per pin. Some USBC associations stage larger
events like tournaments or bowl-a-thons.
Bowl for the Cure
is a fun way to involve the entire community in a great sport while
raising funds for a great cause. Help make a difference in the fight
against breast cancer.
