Who are lawn bowlers?

To some, we might seem a little crazy and eccentric, devoting ourselves to the seemingly simple act of rolling a bowl (not a ball) in the hopes of coaxing it to rest near a small white ball known as a jack. Admittedly, we're a group of more seasoned individuals, but our passion for bowling knows no age limits, as we welcome enthusiasts of all generations into our fold.

 

For some, bowling isn't just a game—it's a deep-seated passion, even an obsession among the most dedicated. It's a sentiment that's difficult to articulate until you've experienced it firsthand. Once you do, you'll find yourself drawn into its captivating allure, whether you're a casual bowler at a local club or a fervent competitor eagerly anticipating the next tournament.

​

Who supports lawn bowls?

Lawn bowls is supported primarily by passionate bowlers like you, who find fun, joy and fulfillment not only in the game itself, but also in the camaraderie of the bowling community.

​

Now, many of these bowlers are in a position to give back to the sport they love and step up to provide much-needed support.

 

The Bowls Development Fund was created to raise crucial funds that help support and strengthen US lawn bowls programs and events throughout the year. We greatly appreciate any donations, no matter the amount. Please consider making a contribution today. Your generosity means a lot! All donations are tax deductible within the guidelines of US tax law.

​

You might also consider making a memorial gift in honor of a cherished family member or friend. A memorial gift is a meaningful way to honor a lawn bowler who has inspired you, coached you, or simply shared their friendship with you.
