Getting involved is easy. All you need to do is form a Bowl for Kids’ Sake team of five with your friends, family, coworkers, or neighbors. Team members use pledge sheets and/or online fundraising pages to raise donations for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Each bowler whose team raises $200, receives a t-shirt, an hour of bowling, shoe rental, pizza, beverages, and will be eligible for both lane prizes and prize packa
ges for most pledges raised.
It has never been easier or more fun to raise money for local children.
Bowl For Kids Sake is not about bowling!
It is about giving children the opportunity to realize that they are valued and that they deserve a bright future full of promise. By participating in consistent and healthy relationships with a supportive Big Brother or Sister, children develop more positive attitudes and behaviors. For over a hundred years, BBBS America has set the standard for how mentoring is done to have a lasting and positive impact on the lives of children. T
