Chuck Heidbrink Fellowship Award

The Chuck Heidbrink Fellowship Award began in 2010 and was first presented to Chuck Heidbrink, as the founder of the Sunday Night Out bowling league in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

This award is presented every year at our tournament to a bowler that has enriched the bowling community and exemplifies the IGBO (International Gay Bowling Organization) values of Unity, Fellowship and Communication.

The most recent recipient of this award for 2025 is Fernando Pacheco from Denver and the DIGLIT tournament! Congratulations Fernando! Thank you for everything you do for all of us and IGBO too!
