We're Bowling BACK-2-the-80s!
In 1988, we held our first Bowl-2-Benefit event. 32 years later, BHcare's Bowl-2-Benefit the UCDVS is the largest event of its kind in the area! Year after year, we continue to raise awareness and funds for domestic violence services.
And in 2020, we Bowl BACK-2-the-80s! That means we're bowling to only the best 80s tunes and ballads, and encourage you to come dressed in your awesomely 80s attire.
In 2019, there were 14 domestic violence confirmed homicides last year in Connecticut.
Each year, nearly 40,000 victims seek help in CT. Your participation allows The Umbrella Center to provide a 24/7 crisis hotline, walk-in centers, safe shelters, court support, education, counseling and so much more. Last year, the UCDVS helped nearly 7,700 victims of domestic violence find support and live safely.
Join more than 1,200 community members to show your support for victims of domestic violence and their children.
