Mission & Values
Our Mission
Our league has been created with the LGBTQIA+ community in mind, but we welcome all bowlers regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. All skill levels are encouraged to participate, play, and volunteer. We are committed to delivering a welcoming and inclusive environment with all league activities including bowling, and giving back to the community through education, outreach, volunteering, and community service activities.
Our Goals
- Create a safe and inclusive environment, on and off the lane
- Build friendships and develop a social support system
- Grow our competitive and friendly team-sport environment
- Foster and support skill development of all levels
- Create opportunities for healthy exercise
- Volunteer at different community events
- Promote education and awareness of sexual health topics, including HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment
Our Vision
All activities are to be inclusive in nature and that no individual shall be excluded from participating based on sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, race, religion or creed, nationality, ethnic origin, political beliefs, athletic ability, physical challenge, HIV status, veteran status, genetic information, age, or citizenship status. The GALA Bowling League promotes gender inclusion by allowing bowlers to self-identify gender.
