whose own Maple Family Centers group raised more than $57,000 for
BVL earlier this year. “Giving back and supporting our veterans is part
of their DNA, and their unwavering commitment to brightening veter-
ans’ lives sets an example for all bowling businesses to follow.”
“This just solidifies that our bowlers are huge supporters of our
nation’s military veterans,” said Pat Ciniello, CEO of Bowling
Management Associates, operators of the local centers. “We couldn’t be
prouder of the men and women who serve our country and likewise, we
can’t say thank you enough to the bowlers for their contributions to an
outstanding organization like BVL. We should never forget the sacrifice
our veterans made for us to make America great!”
“We’re so grateful to the owners and bowlers and HeadPinz and
Bowland for their ongoing tremendous support,” said BVL Executive
Director Mary Harrar. “These dollars will go directly to work helping
veterans programs in southwest Florida and making a difference in the
lives of local veterans.”
The six HeadPinz & Bowland centers teamed up for several events last
month, including a no-tap tournament and a “Race to the Bar” promo-
tion with local radio station 93X in Fort Myers. Bowland Centers are
located throughout southwest Florida: Beacon Bowl in Naples, Coral
Lanes in Cape Coral and Bowland Pt. Charlotte. HeadPinz
Entertainment Centers are in Cape Coral, Fort Myers and Naples.
BVL has raised more than $50 million since 1942 to provide recreation
grants at VA hospitals and clinics throughout the country. Fund-raising
events in bowling and entertainment centers occur throughout the year
although many efforts are centralized around National BVL Month each
November.
