Brighten the New Year for Veterans
Through BVL

The perfect gift is not a sweater or a tie that will wind up at the bottom of a closet. . . The perfect gift is not an electronic device which will be outdated at the next release, nor is it gadget which will break before holiday decorations are gone. . . For patriots and America's bowling family, it is a donation to the Bowlers to Veterans Link (BVL).

Through a gift to BVL, there are brighter days for America's service men and women recuperating in VA Hospitals, State Homes and on active duty. BVL gives back to those who have served our country through recreational and therapeutic programs and services - sports, music, arts and special events. Thanks to BVL, a trip to a ball game, a gift of a book or a DVD, an afternoon of music, or a visit by a friendly pet therapy dog, helps speed recuperation and provides a boost in morale that punctuates long, and often lonely, hospital stays or on active duty far from home.

Moreover, when you give to BVL, you know it goes right to the veterans in need. Named as one of "America’s Best Charities," for effective and efficient programs and low overhead, contributions to BVL really make a difference.

To send a gift to honor those who have sacrificed for our country, visit www.BowlforVeterans.org and click on "Donate Now." You may also choose to make your gift on behalf of or in memory of another person.
