Our Bowling Family
Special Friends Bowling is a community of friends.
While some of our bowlers live independently, many live with parents or guardians who play an important role in their lives. Many of our bowlers also work and contribute to our local community.
Parents and guardians are an important part of Special Friends Bowling. They are supporters, cheerleaders, coaches, and advocates who are actively involved in their bowlers’ success. Their encouragement and dedication help make each bowling day a positive and rewarding experience.
We are grateful for the families, guardians, coaches, and volunteers who support our bowlers and help make Special Friends Bowling the welcoming community it is today.
Every bowler matters. Every achievement is worth celebrating.
The Champions’ Ladder
Every bowler has a goal – and every milestone brings them one step closer.
The Champions’ Ladder is an extension of our original 300 Club, created to recognize bowlers as they progress toward a perfect game. The ladder has six milestones: 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300.
When a bowler reaches a milestone, they move up another rung on the ladder and receive a special award recognizing their achievement. Each rung represents progress, determination, and another accomplishment to be proud of.
The goal isn’t just to reach 300. It’s about celebrating the journey and encouraging every bowler to set a goal, bowl their best, and keep climbing.
Our Story
Special Friends Bowling has been bringing people together since 1998, when Don Stewart founded the Handicapped Club with about a dozen members. The group continued to grow, and in 2009 its members voted to give the organization a new name – Special Friends Bowling.
Today our club has 68 active bowlers. From our first dozen bowlers to the vibrant group we are today, one thing hasn’t changed: Have fun. Make friends. Bowl your best.
