Teams and Sponsors
Needed for Bowl For Kids’ Sake 2015
The bowl-a-thon will be held Friday, March 6, with time slots at 4,5,
& 6 p.m. at Bel-Mar Lanes in Sidney and 5 at Treaty Lanes in
Greenville, and Saturday, March 7, with time slots from 12, 1, & 2
p.m. at Bel-Mar Lanes in Sidney and Treaty Lanes in
Greenville. The festive “St. Patrick’s Day” atmosphere will again
feature lots of green and pots of gold. We also have a great line
up of prizes, such as a choice of $500 cash, ipad mini and much more.
Due to the continued growth of the agency and the large demand for
mentoring services in the two-county area, the Board of Trustees felt
strongly about setting the goal at $38,000 for the 2015 fundraising
event. The money raised goes directly towards establishing one-to-one
mentoring relationships between caring adults and kids in need.
Last year alone the agency served nearly 400 children within Shelby and
Darke County. All funds stay in the county in which they
are raised!
The agency aims to recruit 45 teams this year. Participation is
open to the public and community members are asked to form 4-5 member
teams. Each team member collects donations and comes out to bowl
a game, get a T-shirt and join the party the day of the event.
Plenty of free snacks & pizza, free bowling, and great door prizes
are available throughout the event.
The minimum to participate is $40 and gets you admission to the party,
a 2015 t-shirt, all the food that you can eat and an abundance of
prizes. For participants younger than 18 we ask that your
raise $20.
For those who like a little friendly competition, Big Brothers Big
Sisters will help in any way to fuel the fire. In the past we have had
businesses participate and hold competitions between their branch
locations to gauge which location could collect the most money.
Businesses can get involved through one of our many sponsorship options
or by sponsoring an employee team. All corporate sponsors’ names
are announced throughout the event.
If you are interested in forming a team or getting involved as a
company, Bowl for Kids’ Sake registration is easy; you can call our
office at 937-492-7611 or 547-9622 to get a form, or go directly
on-line to www.bigbrobigsis-shelby-darke.org for team forms or
corporate team option.
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.
