BVL Penny-a Pin Fundraiser in November
The fundraising method,
(at least locally), will be to ask league bowlers to donate a Penny-a-pin for their league session during the timeframe of Monday, Nov. 2 through Thursday, Nov. 12. Leagues and/or bowlers in those leagues will be able to pledge to donate the amount of their weeks’ league actual series to BVL. This charity is referred to as “Bowling’s Charity” since starting 75+ years ago during Worldwar II.
