Inspiring Bowling Stories

Shawn Beam

Bowling is a lifelong sport that gives individuals of any ability the chance to compete and have fun with family and friends.

For Shawn Beam of Burleson, Texas, the chance to compete was something he strived for, and bowling provided that outlet.

Beam always has required the use of a wheelchair since suffering from a pinched nerve in his spine at birth, but that didn’t stop him from taking to the lanes OR making history.

In 2012, Beam became the first freehand wheelchair bowler to shoot a certified perfect game. Read more about his inspiring performance by clicking here.
