Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana will host its annual Bowl For Kids’ Sake fundraiser in Kosciusko County on March 7-8 at The Bowling Alley.
With special thanks to presenting sponsor, Pro Resources, Big Brothers Big Sisters once again kicks off its largest yearly fundraiser, according to a news release from BBBS. This year’s “Game Changers” theme invites participants to don their favorite sports gear and “change the game” for kids.
Participants may register free of charge in teams of five, with the only request being to raise $100 per person or a total goal of $500 per team. Fundraising may be done through a BBBS-provided webpage, which can be shared on social media or via email and text. For teams looking to take on a bigger challenge, there are options to sign up for “Kids’ Champs” and “Super Teams,” which commit to raising $5,000 and $2,500 per team, respectively.
Every dollar raised by bowlers goes straight to creating and supporting one-to-one mentorships that ignite the power and potential of youth — Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mission. There are over 300 children on the waitlist across the 10 counties it serves. For those who wish to support but not bowl, consider donating to any of the teams participating, the release states.
This March, bowlers will be in for a good time with every free night of bowling, free pop or beer, pizza and prizes. Everyone will go home with a prize — no matter the score — and BBBS welcomes everyone to assemble a team and bring your A-game!
In Kosciusko County, Bowl For Kids’ Sake is offered at The Bowling Alley, Saturday, March 7, 1 to 3 and 4 to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, March 8, 2 to 4 p.m.
