BBBS offers
skating party
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke will be holding their
annual Roll for Kids’ Sake on Thursday, January 25, from 6-10pm.
The party is open to the public and will be held at Rolling Hills Skate
located at 105 E. Russell Road in Sidney. The cost is $10 per
person and includes admission, skate rental, face painting, snacks, and
door prizes. This year’s theme is “School Pride”, and the first
50 people dressed in school logoed attire will receive a gift.
All proceeds will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby &
Darke County’s Big Buddies after-school mentoring programs. Big
Buddies is a nine-month commitment where high school freshmen,
sophomores, juniors, and seniors volunteer two times per month to
mentor elementary students. During these meetings, high school
students, under the supervision of Big Brothers Big Sisters staff, work
with one or two children on different educational and recreational
activities. This year’s program is focusing on ecological
awareness and earth-friendly practices. Big Buddies also promotes
social and emotional development through various activities.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is a non-profit, United Way member agency, and
is supported through financial contributions and annual
fundraisers. Their next major fundraiser, Bowl for Kids’ Sake,
will be held on March 2 and 3 at both Treaty Lanes in Greenville and
Bel-Mar Lanes in Sidney. If you would like to make a big
difference in the life of a child, either through volunteering,
financial contribution, or event sponsorship; please contact the agency
at 937-492-7611, 937-547-9622, or go to
