Bowl for the Cure - February 2011

Bowl for the Cure® is an initiative organized by the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) through The Bowling Foundation. USBC’s bowling leagues designate one league session of their choice each season as a Bowl for the Cure® event. February is Bowl for the Cure® month, which is a popular time for USBC leagues across the nation to organize their Bowl for the Cure® events. Bowlers can designate one league night to donate a specific amount, such as a nickel per pin, or stage pledge nights, raffles and auctions. Local bowling associations also are encouraged to team up with Komen Affiliates to conduct a Bowl for the Cure® event for the entire community in their service area. More information is available at www.bowlforthecure.com.

Since the program’s inception in 2000, Bowl for the Cure® has raised close to $8 million for Komen for the Cure while raising bowlers’ awareness about breast cancer screening, treatment and support.
