The BVL Invites You to Attend

The Bowlers to Veterans Link sponsors the dynamic Broadway style variety performances of America’s Premiere Touring Group RE-CREATION in all VA Medical Centers nationwide! Arriving at the VA facilities four hours before show time...Re-Creation group members set up, change into costumes and visit hospital rooms and wards. Then they assist patients to the show area, and perform for them!

What a show! Full-size staging, professional choreography, numerous costume changes, audience participation, and light comedy…all with a flair to capture the diversity of the veteran population. From Big Band, Broadway & Barbershop to Pop, Country and Rock N’ Roll!

Every program includes words of thanks, on the bowlers’ behalf, to the veterans for their service.

As many are aware, computer access to the SMART system has been down while an audit is being performed.  A manual process has been activated so that there is no delay in a youth’s ability to request their funds. Please use the Smart Request Form , Draft Exception Policy, and the following instructions for requesting funds: 

If an individual wishes to use their available scholarship funds, please have them fax their request to Denise Lish at 817.385.8266 or email (SMART@bowl.com).  The subject line of the fax or email should state “Request for SMART Funds”.  Denise will manually process the request thru our Accounting system and input the data into SMART once the program is available.
