Legendary Pro bowler Mark Roth recently suffered a severe stroke and is just beginning the long journey of rehabilitation. The PBA and USBC Hall of Famer changed the sport of bowling forever during the 70’s and 80’s with his unique style, powerful approach and frequent domination on the PBA tour.
The massive stroke caused major complications to Mark’s health, and the costs involved with the hospitalization, care and now rehabilitation are enormous. The Bowling Foundation, as the central charitable arm of bowling, is coordinating efforts to rally the industry, bowlers and fans of the sport and Roth in particular, to provide some relief to the Roth family during this difficult time. Very little is available to retired professional bowlers to allow them to successfully transition from the tour and maintain a decent living. Mark and his family need your help.
Your tax deductible donation to the Mark Roth Support Fund will go directly to the family to help defray costs involved with this tragedy. Please consider any amount you can give. Donations can be made as follows:
Mark Roth Support Fund, c/o The Bowling Foundation, 621 Six Flags Drive, Arlington, TX 76011.
Donations can be made via Visa and MasterCard by contacting The Bowling Foundation.
Please help this member of our bowling family. Please pass the word as well. Thanks.

Last day of the auction. Thanks to everyone who has bid on the items we have listed.

We still have a few items without bids if you want to pick up some Hall of Famer's items for cheap.

I will keep your website and if there is any items worth selling that can help, I will contact you. I helped Max Gross with a similar tournament for Mark Roth a few months back.
