MODESTO -- California Bowlers have stepped up again for veterans, leading the nation in support of the Bowlers to Veterans Link (BVL). Californians donated over $142,000, far eclipsing second-place Virginia at $39,000.
The BVL mission is to brighten the days and boost the spirits of our nation's veterans who are in VA Medical Centers and state homes. The donations pick up where government funding leaves off, providing recreational and therapeutic programs and services that speed recovery and improve morale.
The BVL program was founded by bowlers in 1942 to help support America's troops. Since then almost $30 million has been raised.
Modesto's Rich Custer has won back-to-back titles in the Scratch 6-Gamer Tournament at Yosemite, and has a chance to make it three in a row Sunday. Custer won the Willie Taylor Memorial 6-gamer in August then came back in September to win the monthly event. Sunday, the November sweeper will start at noon.
This is one of only two chances left to qualify for the year-end Tournament of Champions, Dec. 30.
The trio team of Fran Lockwood, Laverne Howe and Claudelle Bonaccinie finished in the top spot in the Ladies Trio Tournament at McHenry with a 2,410 team total. Olivia Clinton and Char Moscato teamed with Teeny Allen for second (2,396) and Elmira Jones, Sally Levesque and Denise Stucker came in third (2,372).
