Brad Wilson Memorial Scholarship

Bradley E. Wilson passed away in 2011 from a heart attack at age 35. He was involved in organized bowling his entire life and he was an accomplished bowler known for his big stature yet smooth delivery. After his passing, he was inducted into the GCV Hall of Fame. Although he was a competitive bowler his biggest enjoyment was the social aspect of the game, being able to do what he loved with friends and family in a more casual atmosphere.

For that very reason, in 2012 the family of Brad Wilson created the B-Wil Memorial Tournament.  The tournament features both an adult and youth division with proceeds given to a memorial scholarship fund in his honor.  The B‐Wil Tournament continues to be a very popular annual event as it encourages all skill levels to participate in a relaxed environment and emphasize what the sport of bowling is truly about…having fun!

Funds raised from this tournament will be presented to a graduating senior, or a student enrolled as a freshman, sophomore, or junior in an accredited college and also be bowling in a GCV USBC league. Awarded once per lifetime.
