Bowl
for Kids’ Sake set for March 1 & 2
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is gearing up for
their annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake which will be held March 1 & 2 at
Bel-Mar Lanes in Sidney and Treaty Lanes in Greenville. Bowl for
Kids’ Sake is a nationally-recognized Big Brothers Big Sisters event
and open to the public. Bowl for Kids’ Sake serves as a fun and
easy way for community members to support the life-changing work of Big
Brothers Big Sisters.
Last year’s event hosted 88 sponsors, 69 teams, 348 bowlers, and raised
$39,783. This year’s goal is set at $53,000, which is attainable,
but not without the help of community members and sponsors. Bowl
for Kids’ Sake serves as the largest annual fundraiser for Big Brothers
Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County, and the public is invited to
help make this year’s event the largest to date. Hundreds of area
bowlers team up every year to support this exciting fundraiser and take
part in the self-proclaimed “bowling event of the year.”
Participants are encouraged to raise a minimum of $50 per bowler, or
$25 for those under 18 years old, through peer to peer
fundraising. Teams can consist of friends, family, and/or
co-workers and high school students are encouraged to
participate. Participation includes a t-shirt, snacks, one hour
of bowling, and chances to win prizes. Lanes are available
