SOBC Cowichan Valley is a non-profit organization that can operate thanks to generous organizations and individuals that donate time and monetary resources every day.
An example of those organization is the Fraternal Order of Eagles – Ladies Auxiliary No. 4400, who constantly support our organization with a generous donation last June 2015.

On the past Special Olympics Summer Games in Los Angeles, Kara Summer, a ten-pin bowling athlete, was not only the first representative of SOBC Cowichan Valley going to World Games, but she also was a very successful one bringing several medals home.
We are extremely proud of her success and wish her many more in the future.
