Merritton Lions Annual Blind Bowling

Merritton Lions Annual Blind Bowling
🚨Save the Date: Sat, November 1st, 2025

Our annual five-pin bowling event held will raise money for dog guides. Often referred to as “blind bowling,” it also helps educate participants on what it’s like to be blind or visually impaired.

Bowlers wear specialized glasses provided by the Lions Foundation of Canada Canine Vision Dog Guide program. The glasses mimic eye disease, to allow participants to see through the eyes of someone who is visually impaired by diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetes, glaucoma or retinopathy.

One of the five members of each bowling team must wear the specialized glasses to simulate bowling blind — that person is aided by another member of the team.

We look forward to seeing everyone for our annual event again this November!
