Why: Bowl For Kids’ Sake proceeds match children with positive Big Brother and Big Sister volunteer mentors. In 2009, 60 children were matched to Big Brothers or Big Sisters as a result of Bowl For Kids’ Sake.
Prizes: Bowling, T-shirts, and pizza are free when you return $75 in pledges. Additional prizes will be awarded for the top team recruiter, the top individual fundraiser, and individual pledge benchmarks ($150, $300, and $500+). And new this year… a $1,000 Prize Drawing! The annual Spirit Award will also be given to the team that is fun, energetic, and enthusiastic!
