Bowl it forward: Sharing the love of the game.
We are a nonprofit charity based in Freehold, New Jersey. We collect gently used bowling balls and place them directly into the hands of youth and adults who cannot afford their own gear.
How you can get involved and help
Our mission relies on community support to make bowling accessible for everyone. Discover how our programs create opportunities on and off the lanes.
Equipment donation program
Have gear sitting in your closet? Ship or drop off your pre-loved bowling balls so we can clean, resurface, and prepare them for a new bowler.
Recipients and youth outreach
We partner with local leagues and community organizations to identify passionate individuals who need equipment to keep playing the sport they love.
Monetary and shipping support
Covering shipping fees and re-plugging equipment costs money. Financial contributions directly help us transfer donated balls to new owners nationwide.
Corporate and alley partnerships
Bowling alleys and pro shops can join us as collection hubs or refurbishment partners to amplify our charitable impact across the region.
"Receiving a bowling ball through Bowl it forward allowed me to join my high school team when my family couldn't afford equipment. It changed everything for me."
