What is Bowl for Kids' Sake?
Bowl for Kids' Sake is about having fun to help kids.  It is our most important fundraising campaign of the year!  Funds raised go directly toward matching children with carefully-screened, caring Big Brother and Big Sister volunteers.

You can be a sponsor, bowler, or both!
If you are a donor, know that your support is helping put Big Brothers, Big Sisters and Big Couples in children's lives, right here in your community.  If you are a bowler, enjoy a fun outing with friends - as well as the satisfaction of knowing you're making a big difference to kids right here in your community.
