The BVL Mail-In Tournament is Coming Up!

Greater Cedar Valley bowlers — our board members will be coming around during league nights the week of October 18 to collect $5 donations to participate in this year’s BVL Mail-In Tournament. Your $5 goes directly to support veterans through the Bowlers to Veterans Link — and gets you entered into the tournament!

📅 Important Dates:
✔️ $5 collections: Week of October 18
✔️ Scores used for tournament: Week of November 1 during your regular league play (or week of November 8 if absent first week)

What is BVL?
BVL stands for Bowlers to Veterans Link — it's bowling’s very own charity, started in 1942 to support veterans returning from war.
Today, BVL helps fund programs for veterans in VA hospitals, including:
✅ Recreation and therapy
✅ Mental health support
✅ Music, art, and sports activities
Every dollar raised goes directly to help veterans right here in the U.S. 💙

Welcome Back to all of our returning and new Greater Cedar Valley Bowling Association Members!!!! We wanted to clarify a few things regarding USBC Membership Cards.

THIS YEAR: If you have not done so already just a reminder that you can purchase/renew your annual memberships through your league or on bowl.com. USBC will mail out membership cards this year just as in past years.

CHANGES FOR NEXT YEAR (2027-28): you will still be able to purchase/renew your membership through your league or on bowl.com however, USBC will transition to digital membership cards and will not mail out the physical cards.

We hope everyone has a great bowling season!
