Bowlers for Sight Tournament

The inaugural Marian Boehm Memorial Bowlers for Sight Tournament, presented by BowlerX, to benefit Sights for Hope will bring people together in celebration of Marian Boehm’s life and commitment to community. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three (3) teams.

How We Roll: Our Unique Format

About Marian Boehm

Marian Boehm (1932-2025) was famous among her friends and family for her delicious strawberry pies, beautiful flower gardens, sharp sense of humor and love of various types of games – including bowling, in which she excelled. Marian volunteered for many years for the former Lehigh Valley Braille Guild, for which she translated countless books into Braille. Marian and her husband, Marvin (1928-2019), had previously owned two businesses in Emmaus, PA.
