Maple Family Centers presents $50K donation to LI State Veterans Home at Stony Brook

Maple Family Centers, a family-owned and operated group of bowling centers, presented a $50,000 donation to the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University on July 16.

Maple Family Centers, which owns bowling centers in Rockville Centre, Coram and Flushing in New York as well as two bowling centers in Florida, has raised more than $750,000 for the Bowlers to Veterans Link (BVL), a national charity that supports recreational therapy programs to speed recuperation and boost morale of America’s veteran and active-duty service men and women. 

Funds that Maple raises for BVL are distributed to local organizations serving veterans in communities across Maple’s footprint, including the Long Island State Veterans Home, a 350-bed skilled nursing facility that also provides adult day healthcare and rehabilitation services for veterans and their families. 

These donations, which support therapeutic recreation programs for veterans, would not be possible without the generous support of Maple bowlers, who understand the company’s mission to brighten the lives of veterans every day and enthusiastically contribute to the cause.

“We extend our deepest gratitude to the LaSpina family and Maple Family Centers for their generous donation to the Long Island State Veterans Home,” said Fred S. Sganga, FACHE, Executive Director of the Long Island State Veterans Home. “Their unwavering support significantly enhances both the quality of life and the quality of care for our nation’s veterans. The LaSpina family’s commitment to our veterans is truly commendable, and we are immensely grateful for their dedication to ensuring our heroes receive the respect and care they deserve.”
