We were proud to once again support our veterans through this year’s BVL donation. During the 2024–2025 season, our bowling community raised more than $37,000. Of that total, $16,000 has been designated for Menlo Park, $8,000 for Honor Flight, $8,000 for Serenity Stables, and $5,000 for BVL’s national programs.
On November 10, 2025, Monmouth County USBC members were invited to take part in the Menlo Park Veterans Home’s Veterans Day Celebration. This year’s event carried even more significance as it also marked the 250th birthday of the Marine Corps, adding a special sense of pride and reflection to the day.
Our partnership with the Menlo Park Veterans Home now spans more than 17 years, and since 2008 we’ve proudly contributed over $114,000 to support the veterans who call it home. We applaud the bowlers of Monmouth County for their generosity, dedication, and unwavering support. Your commitment makes all of this possible—and together, we continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who served.
