BVL Board member and USBC Vice President
Karen Jost of Turnwater, Wash., and bowling propri-
etor David Kellerman of Georgetown, Texas, also
represented BVL at the Veterans Day Breakfast with
U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert Wilkie.
Kellerman, who recently completed a 2,192-mile,
five-month hike through the Appalachian Trail to
raise more than $80,000 for BVL and veterans, was
also part of the BVL contingent participating in the
wreath-laying ceremony.
The weekend in the nation’s capital kicked off with
a fundraiser hosted by Bill and Kate Moore on the
lanes in their home in Clifton, Va. Brunswick Pro
Staff members Johnny Petraglia, Walter Ray
Williams Jr., and Parker Bohn III also appeared at the
event which raised more than $10,000 for BVL.
Free BVL Month in America fundraising kits are
available to bowling center owners by contacting
Mary@BVL.org or calling (703) 934-6039 or click
HERE to download the kit. The BVL Month in
America kit includes suggestions for open play and
league programs along with a group event that can be
implemented by centers during November or anytime
during the year. The kit includes professionally-pro-
duced, customizable league and open play flyers to
generate additional traffic throughout the center.
BVL also offers free soldier pin cutouts for centers
to display throughout their venue when patrons make

able for purchase to use as incentives for special
events and donations.
Bowling centers across the country will be hosting
fundraising events during November and beyond,
including two of BVL’s longest-running supporters.
Don Carter Lanes in Rockford, Ill., owned by long-
time BVL supporter John Sommer, is one of many
centers connecting with their bowlers this month to
help BVL fund programs in their local market. The
center held a Bowling For The Troops fundraiser over
Veterans Day weekend.
HeadPinz & Bowland Entertainment Centers in
southwest Florida recently got their fundraising
efforts off to an impressive start, first awarding a
$31,000 transportation cart last month to the VA
Clinic in Cape Coral, Fla. The cart, which was fund-
ed from special events held last year, will help with
the transportation needs of wheelchair-bound veter-
ans. Throughout November, HeadPinz & Bowland
centers will also ask their guests to donate to BVL
and host special BVL tournaments.
Last year, BVL raised more than $1.1 million for
the third consecutive fiscal year. Since 1942, BVL
has provided more than $52 million in grants to VA
hospitals and clinics to fund recreation therapy and
programs for America’s veterans and active duty
service members. BVL is bowling’s oldest and own
charity, a national nonprofit 501 (c) (3) charity that is
consistently acknowledged for efficient and effective
programming delivered with extremely low over-
head. BVL has been recognized as one of "America’s
Best Charities" by Independent Charities of America,
earned a "Top-Rated" Nonprofit distinction from
GreatNonprofits, and is also a member of the
Combined Federal Campaign (#93325).

WESLEY LOW TO BEGIN CHASING
PBA DREAMS
The widely anticipated arrival of Wesley Low Jr. to the PBA ranks
will begin in January when the highly decorated two-handed left-
hander begins his quest for 2020 PBA Rookie of the Year honors.
Low, now 22 and a graduate of the famous Wichita State
University collegiate program, was the youngest bowler ever to win
a PBA Regional tournament when he won a PBA West Region
“challenge” event for non-title winners in Las Vegas in 2013 at the
age of 15 years, 336 days. He didn’t get credit for an official title
because he was not a PBA member at the time.
He also was the second-youngest player ever to “cash” in a PBA
Regional when he finished third in the same non-champions event
in Las Vegas the previous year at age 14. The youngest casher
record is held by 2018 PBA Rookie of the Year Kamron Doyle who
was 12 when he “cashed” in a PBA Regional in Canton, Ga., in
2010. In both cases, Low and Doyle competed as youth bowlers and
accepted prize money in the form of contributions to their SMART
scholarship funds.
Low, who has achieved success at virtually every level of youth
and collegiate bowling leading up to his PBA debut, announced he
will begin chasing his PBA dreams in an interview with
FloBowling Senior Editor Lucas Wiseman (https://www.flobowl-
ing.com/video/6598050-wesley-low-talks-about-chasing-his-pba-
dreams).
The Palmdale, Calif., resident said, “I’m nervous but excited. I’ll
probably be humbled for a bit. I’d like to go on to great success, but
there’s no guarantee.”
The Stuff That Legends Are Made Of…
Leanne Hulsenberg Personifies All That Is Right In Bowling
by Dave Williams
It’s easy to quantify exactly what makes Leanne
Hulsenberg a legend in the game of bowling and in
life. We are accustomed to associating success with
numbers in bowling, and what she has done in her
lifetime reads like a who’s who in the annals of the
Professional Women’s Bowl-ing Association
(PWBA).
At the tender age of 19, she embarked on a profes-
sional career that included three victories in her very
first year, and the subsequent Rookie of the Year hon-
ors. She followed that up with a total of 7 titles in her
first three years, and 16 championships in ten years.
At last count she had amassed 27 titles in a career that
was shortened by the dissolution of the PWBA in
2003.
Leanne has also garnered other major accomplish-
ments along the way that have made her the consum-
mate female professional, rivaling the likes of male
and female greats like Walter Ray Williams Jr., Dick
Weber, Liz Johnson, and the legendary Marion
Ladewig.
Yes, she is that good!
Along with all those PWBA victories, Hulsenberg
has also made more than 100 television ap-pearances,
been named to the Bowlers Journal All-American
Team a record 12 times, has five United States
Bowling Congress (USBC) Women’s
Championships, was voted PWBA Player of the Year
on three different occasions, and was recipient of the
PWBA’s Sportsmanship Award on two occasions.
What’s really so astonishing about Leanne’s career
is that when the PWBA ceased operations in 2003,
she was only 36, and in the prime of her bowling
years. Projecting her average of 1.8 championships
per year from her first 16 years, that would place her
at 56 titles today.
lowing her 279-276 victory over Aleta Sill in the 1988 AMF
Leanne Hulsenberg
Virginia Classic - the highest scoring championship match in
PWBA history.
November 27 - December 3, 2019
She’s also one of only three women to earn over
$1,000,000 on tour, and if you project her yearly
average of $62,500 from her fist 16 years, that would
place her at over $2,000,000 today. Considering the
fact that the women do not compete in as many
events as the men, nor do they vie for the larger purs-
es afforded the men’s tour, you can begin to see why
it’s so easy to quantify Leanne as a bowling legend.
Now we get to the stuff that legends are made of…
As if it wasn’t enough to be inducted into the
PWBA Hall of Fame on the evening of Wednesday,
May 15th, 2019, Leanne started off the day by rolling
in the Doubles and Singles events of the USBC
Women’s Championships at Northrock Lanes in
Wichita.
She began slowly in the Doubles with a 188, before
connecting for the fourth 300 game of the 2019 tour-
nament. She continued with a 259 tally in game three
for a 747 series. Leanne added sets of 707 in the
Singles and 689 in the Team event, for a commend-
able 2143 All Events total.
In a telephone interview with Leanne, she added,
“The Doubles event kicked off at 7:00 AM, making
for a very long day, as my induction speech was the
last of the four inductees, at about 9:00 PM.”
My immediate question was that in worrying about
the induction ceremony later that evening, she may
have been somewhat preoccupied with her speech,
allowing the 300 game to be secondary and thus eas-
ier to accomplish.
