HOW DOES BOWL FOR KIDS' SAKE WORK?

Bowl For Kids’ Sake is a peer-to-peer fundraiser, which offers everyone in the community a chance to positively impact a child’s life.

1. START YOUR TEAM!

As the Team Captain, you recruit 4 other individuals to be on your team and connect them with Big Brothers Big Sisters Mountain Region. Your team can include friends, family, co-workers, etc.

2. SECURE YOUR DONATIONS!

Each teammate raises $100 (team total of $500) by asking friends, co-workers, family members, etc. to support your campaign. Feel free to be as creative and fun as you want with your fundraising! 100% of the money you raise goes directly to supporting children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters in your local community.

3. JOIN US TO BOWL!

On the day of your local Bowl For Kids’ Sake event, it's time to have fun! You and your team will get about two hours of bowling (shoes and balls included), an event t-shirt, food and drinks, lots of prizes and fun. Costumes not required but highly encouraged!
