The women on the PWBA Tour are world-class athletes, but most cover their own costs.
Entry fees. Gas. Hotels. Meals. Equipment. Unlike major pro sports with team budgets and travel stipends, women's professional bowling doesn't have that infrastructure. Most athletes pay their own way — tournament to tournament, often at a loss. Many bowlers are scraping by between tournaments, working second jobs, or relying on family. BowlForward exists to ease that burden, even just a little.
For some players, $50 for gas or $200 for entry fees is the difference between competing that weekend and watching from home.
You can support the women on the PWBA Tour and the next generation ready to join them by making a contribution today.
