The Bowl For Kids Sake bowling event that was held on Friday, March 6th
& Saturday, March 8 at Bel-Mar Lanes in Sidney Treaty Lanes in
Greenville with nearly 75 bowling teams consisting of 4 to 5 people in
attendance.
The agency would like to thank all the businesses and individuals who
supported their biggest fundraiser of the year. The money raised
will go towards establishing one-to-one mentoring relationships between
caring adults and children.
Big Brothers Big Sisters would like to send a big shout out to the
community for their awesome support of our fund raising event!!
To date our preliminary figures show we raised $37,000.
Bowl for Kids’ Sake is a nationally recognized event, and almost 700
agencies across the county participate and hold the event. Big
Brothers Big Sisters evaluates its effectiveness and impact on a
national and local level. Results show that children who are
mentored are more likely to improve in school and in their
relationships with family and peers and are less likely to skip school
or use illegal drugs or alcohol.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County has drawn the
winners of the Bowl for Kids’ Sake 2015 Prizes:
Grand Prize winner was Rhonda Setser of New Weston who bowled on the
Wayne Healthcare team. Rob Douglas of Sidney who was a part of
