Bowl for the Cure success stories
It’s almost time for the annual Meet for the Cure at the upcoming USBC Convention in April! This year, we will feature several USBC Associations’ Bowl for the Cure success stories.
If your association held a Bowl for the Cure event this past season, please email a recap of your event, total funds raised and high resolution photos to Dania Lee at Dania.Lee@bowl.com.
The submissions will be selected at random, so we cannot guarantee that every association will be featured. Thank you for supporting Bowl for the Cure and joining us in the fight to end breast cancer forever. We look forward to seeing you at Meet for the Cure!
Collegiate events on national TV
It was recently announced the USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships and the USBC Intercollegiate Team Championships will be part of a four-week series that will air nationally this May on CBS Sports Network. Please help us spread the word that these national championship events will air each Friday in May on CBS Sports. For a preview video of these exciting events, please click here.
Bowlers Ed
The IBC Youth Development team hosted a Bowler’s Ed Summit March 6-7 at the International Bowling Campus with the purpose of discussing the current landscape of the in-school bowling program.
The group consisted of in-state specialists and physical education teachers from around the country that believe in the brand. They shared thoughts and ideas of initiatives that will grow the brand as well as avenues to continue to give students the opportunity to learn a lifetime sport, increasing the revenue of bowling centers over time by cultivating relationships with local schools.
Any association officials interested in learning more about the Bowlers Ed program should contact Corey Robinson at crobinson@ibcyouth.com or 817-385-8432.
