What is Bowl for Kids’ Sake?
Bowl for Kids’ Sake is Big Brothers Big Sisters signature fundraiser. It’s about having fun to help kids. 100% of the funds raised go directly toward pairing young people with a team of caring adults to help them succeed, starting with their own Big Brother or Big Sister.
You can be a sponsor, a bowler, or both!
If you are a donor, know that your support is helping put Big Brothers and Big Sisters in the lives of children right here in our community.

Large corporate groups or teams: Examples of corporate groups include individual stores of a restaurant chain bowling together or affiliated organizations, such as a group of attorney’s offices all bowling at the same time.
Individual teams: groups of five bowlers; they could be friends, co-workers, or neighbors who get together and form a team.
