Marking Each Rung Toward a Perfect Game

In April 2025, Special Friends Bowling introduced The Champions’ Ladder — Marking Each Rung Toward a Perfect Game. An extension of our 300 Club, the program celebrates six exciting milestones on the journey toward bowling a perfect game.

Every time a bowler reaches a new rung, they have something special to celebrate! Each milestone recognizes an achievement and encourages our bowlers to keep going as they work toward the ultimate goal: a score of 300.

Climb the Champions’ Ladder

Bowlers advance up The Champions’ Ladder by reaching one of these milestones in a single game:

  • 50–99 points: Earn a “50” lapel pin
  • 100–149 points: Earn a “100” lapel pin
  • 150–199 points: Earn a “150” iron-on patch
  • 200–249 points: Earn a “200” lapel pin
  • 250–299 points: Earn a “250” iron-on patch
  • 300 points: Reach the ultimate goal and earn the “300” awards

Every award is a celebration of personal achievement. Each new milestone means another rung has been climbed on the journey toward a perfect game!

The Ultimate Achievement: 300

The pinnacle of The Champions’ Ladder is bowling a perfect game – 300 points!

Bowlers who reach this incredible milestone receive a special collection of 300 awards:

  • A “300” patch to sew onto their bowling shirt
  • A commemorative bowling pin featuring their name and “300”
  • A Special Friends Bowling ribbon and medallion

One Award for Your Highest Achievement

Each bowler is recognized only once for the highest milestone they reach. Once a bowler climbs to a higher rung on The Champions’ Ladder, they will not receive awards for lower milestones achieved in future games.

Celebrate Your Achievement!
