We were thrilled to help welcome the inaugural Patton-Stevens Foundation's Fall Classic, where bowlers from across the nation came together at East Providence Lanes for four exciting days of competition and camaraderie! At the opening ceremonies, Rhode Island’s Lt. Governor Sabina Matos, East Providence Mayor Bob DaSilva, and kasim yarn, Director of the Office of Veterans Services, warmly welcomed athletes from all over, celebrating their dedication and resilience. This event, hosted by the Wheelchair Bowlers of America, is a meaningful collaboration between the Matthew Patton Foundation and the Stevens Family Foundation, shining a spotlight on the unique challenges faced by veterans and active-duty military members. ??
