YES FUND LAUNCHES HIGH SCHOOL
BOWLING GRANT PROGRAM
New industry program awards first grant and helps save a New Jersey team
ARLINGTON, Texas – The newly
created Youth Education Services
(YES) Fund made its first direct step
in support of the YES mission to
promote youth bowling with the
announcement of a program
designed to create and preserve high
school bowling programs.
The YES Fund - High School
Grant Program will provide $2,500
to four high school programs annu-
ally. The high school teams must
show financial need because of
budget cuts or other changes, or may
request funding to start a new pro-
gram.
“High school bowling has shown
rapid growth in the last decade, but
many school-funded sports pro-
grams are facing cuts right now,”
Bowling Proprietors’ Association of
America (BPAA) Director of Youth
Chad Murphy, who oversees YES
Fund programs, said. “Thankfully,
the YES Fund and its partners have
stepped up to make a grant program
possible and now the bowling indus-
try can help keep this key age group
on the lanes.”
Founding partners Brunswick,
Columbia 300, Ebonite, 900 Global,
Hammer, QubicaAMF, Roto Grip,
Storm and Track provided key sup-
port to launch the YES Fund. The
YES Fund is a joint initiative of the
BPAA and the United States
Bowling Congress (USBC).
To kick off the High School Grant
Program, the YES Fund will award
$2,500 to Middlesex High School in
Middlesex, N.J., to help that 19-
year-old bowling program continue
in 2010-11. The Middlesex High
School team learned in June that
because of economic constraints the
program was going to be cut.
Parents and supporters of the
Middlesex program held fundraisers
throughout the summer and, in late
September, the Middlesex Board of
Education approved the reinstate-
ment of the varsity bowling pro-
gram. Twenty-five bowlers have
signed up for the Middlesex team
this season.
