Big Brothers Big Sisters Kicks Off Annual Bowl For Kids’ SakeBig Brothers Big Sisters invites the public to start something big by participating in its largest annual fundraiser: Bowl for Kids’ Sake.
Each year, thousands of volunteers across Northeast Indiana come together to support Big Brothers Big Sisters in its mission to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth, according to a news release from BBBS.
Not a bowler? No worries! This campaign isn’t about bowling … it’s about the youth. One hundred percent of the funds raised go directly toward helping match local children in need with a caring adult mentor.
This year’s Bowl for Kids’ Sake is presented by Pro Resources Staffing Services.
The concept is simple. Big Brothers Big Sisters is looking for “team captains” to get themselves and four other friends, family members or co-workers to form a team consisting of five total members. The team captain will register with Big Brothers Big Sisters to reserve their preferred date/time to bowl, encourage team members to raise pledges, and then show up on the bowling date chosen to celebrate and enjoy two hours of bowling with rentals, concessions and the chance to win some amazing door prizes – all free. Each team member is encouraged to raise at least $100 in pledges, and incentive prizes are awarded to those that raise more.
Prizes vary by how much is raised. Some examples include T-shirts, portable coolers and grills, On the Go totes, Bluetooth speakers, plush blankets and tailgate chairs with cases.
For more information, to register a team or to view the 2022 Bowl for Kids’ Sake Schedule, contact Big Brothers Big Sisters at 260-456-1600 or visit online at www.bbbsnei.org. Participation in this event helps ensure that local children are matched with adult mentors to make a big difference in their lives, according to the release.
This year’s Bowl for Kids’ Sake Kosciusko County sessions are at The Bowling Alley on April 23 from 1 to 3 p.m. or 4 to 6 p.m. and April 24 from 1 to 3 p.m.
