🎳 The mission has never changed; only the goal has grown.

In 1942, women collected pennies to support our nation’s veterans. Today, BVL is building on that legacy through Mission 2 Million, with a goal of raising $2 million in 2026 to help brighten veterans’ lives through recreation and therapeutic programs.

For more than 80 years, the bowling community has shown that every gift, no matter the size, can make a meaningful difference. ❤️🤍💙

Help us continue the mission. Together, we can brighten veterans’ lives.

84 years of commitment. One unwavering mission. 🎳🇺🇸

In 1942, at the height of World War II, leaders across the bowling industry came together to form the Bowlers Victory Legion. Their goal was simple yet powerful: boost morale for troops overseas and support wounded servicemen returning home. From funding medical evacuation planes to shipping portable bowling lanes directly to active-duty units, our community rallied around America's heroes.

Today, as the Bowlers to Veterans Link, that legacy continues. BVL has provided over $59 million in total aid to fund recreational therapy, service dogs, VR wellness, and adaptive sports programs for hospitalized and recovering veterans.

Through our current Mission 2 Million campaign, we are carrying that 1942 promise into the future, aiming to expand our reach and brighten even more lives this year. 🚀
