South Central Ohio Big Brothers Big Sisters is appealing to the Hillsboro community to support Bowl for Kids’ Sake, the mentoring organization’s largest annual fundraiser, which raises the money needed to successfully pair volunteer adult mentors with children who face adversity in professionally-supported, long-term mentoring friendships.
Bowl for Kids’ Sake participants solicit pledges from friends and family to raise funds to support the agency. The organization raised more than $50,000 last year and hopes to top that in 2012.
“Bowl for Kids’ Sake brings the whole community together in support of a positive future for our kids,” said Karen McDonald Myers, Executive Director of South Central Ohio Big Brothers Big Sisters.
“No matter how someone chooses to be involved—bowler, team captain, or sponsor — each person has a hand in helping to start a child on the right path. Every dollar raised through Bowl for Kids’ Sake directly funds our mentoring programs in this community and helps to maintain our mentoring relationships, increasing kids chances for success.”
The event will be held on April 29 at 1 p.m. at Highland Lanes in Hillsboro. Teams are generally made up of 4-5 people and each bowler is asked to raise a minimum of $50 in pledges. Those bringing in at least $60 in pledges will receive a free t-shirt. The teams bowl two free games, receive free lunch and are entered to win some great door prizes.
Anyone interested in participating in Bowl for Kids’ Sake can call (800) 888-6335 or email bbbssco@bright.net to register their team, or visit www.bbbssco.org or www.facebook.com/BBBSSCO for more information.
