Syosset, NY: Pinacle Events, Inc., the owner of the Long Island Generations Bowling Tour (LIGBT) and Senior Legends Tour (SLT), has signed an agreement with Storm Bowling Products to become the exclusive ball sponsor of both tours. It’s a perfect match for both companies as Storm dominates the bowling ball market and the LIGBT and SLT dominate the Long Island/NYC tournament market. The one year agreement solidifies Storm as the sponsor of more than 20 handicap and scratch events.
“Storm is pleased to offer a sponsorship with the long standing LIGBT/SLT Tours. Storm is known as The Bowler’s Company and our founders, Bill and Barb Chrisman have always been about giving back to the sport of bowling. We wish all the bowlers of the LIGBT/SLT success on the lanes and thank them for their support.” said Leanne Hulsenberg, Tournament and Events Manager at Storm. “
The LIGBT/SLT tours have created a multi-platform program with the goal of creating the richest tournaments in our history. One Storm ball will be raffled off at most LIGBT/SLT events with 100% of the net proceeds going into a tournament escrow fund. This escrow fund will also be funded with a $5 per entry allocation from all tournaments. The goal is to accumulate $15,000 to fund several special events.
Storm Products Inc. continues to lead the bowling industry in innovation through our high-performance bowling equipment featuring the Storm, Roto Grip and Global 900 Brands. In addition to creating the highest quality of products that the top athletes choose for PBA and PWBA Tour competitions, Storm strives to continue to inspire existing bowlers, foster and develop new bowlers, and educate those in our industry to provide exemplary service to all bowlers.
