CHARITIES

The California USBC Association has continued on the traditions of Charity donations from our previous CSBA and CWBA state associations prior to merging.  The two main Charity groups is the Bowlers to Veteran Link (BVL) and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Since 1949, the California BVL fund has donated over $9.7 million dollars to our veterans.

With donations to California Military Hospitals, VA Medical Centers, Outreach Centers and California Veteran’s Homes we have provided items for rehabilitation therapy, recreation items, Outbound programs and items to enhance the environment . Many of these items never make the government priority lists and, for bowlers, BVL – The California Bowler’s BVL Fund, has become a mission. The California USBC Association THANKS all of you on behalf of the Veterans of California.
