GO BOWLING PARTNERS WITH MILITARY BOWL FOUNDATION AND BVL ON CAMPAIGN TO SEND VETERANS TO PATRIOT POINT RETREATS
ARLINGTON, Texas ā Go Bowling is back again to partner with the Military Bowl Foundation and Bowlers to Veterans Link on a nationwide social media campaign designed to reward veterans by sending them on a Patriot Point Retreat.
Patriot Point is the Military Bowl Foundationās 294-acre waterfront facility that providesĀ a safe, secure and tranquil outdoor recreational and therapeutic retreat for wounded, ill and injured active-duty service members, veterans, theirĀ families and caregivers who face daily struggles related to their time spent defending our great nation.

Members of the bowling community and the public at large who are interested in this initiative will be able to submit nominations of veterans they know and bowl with via an online form on GoBowling.com where the selection criteria and nomination process will be disclosed.
