Memorial Fund

Download - Memorial Fund Donation form

The OLBA Memorial Fund has been established to support the organization’s programs aimed at promoting the sport of lawn bowls and ensuring its long-term viability in Ontario.

Based on available resources, the Fund will support activities in such areas as:

Increasing public interest in lawn bowls
Marketing, member recruitment and member retention at the club level
Raising the skill levels of lawn bowlers (e.g. player development camps)
Development of programs for youth and continuing growth of existing programs for junior bowlers
Development of bowls programs for persons with disabilities
Technical support for improvements in the maintenance and development of greens

The Fund does not directly provide facilities or equipment to individuals, clubs or organizations.

Contributions will be used:

to organize seminars, workshops and development camps for players, coaches and umpires
to improve the capacity of clubs to recruit and retain members, develop new programs and sustain existing ones
to support clubs in efforts to establish and/or to maintain greens that, at the least, meet minimum standards in Ontario
to promote greater participation in championships at the District level (leading to Provincial championships and possible participation in National championships)
to support new initiatives – e.g. intra-provincial match-play events – that contribute to player development and higher skill levels among bowlers

How To Contribute

Personal or business cheques, travellers cheques and bank drafts are all acceptable.
In addition to direct gifts, the programs benefiting from the Memorial Fund can be supported through instructions to an estate executor to remit contributions to the OLBA Memorial Fund or by a direct bequest in a will.
