Big Brothers Big Sisters
Bowl for Kids’ Sake set for March 6, 7- In Need of Teams & Sponsors
VERSAILLES & SIDNEY — Bowl for Kids’ Sake, Big Brothers Big Sisters
of Shelby & Darke County’s (BBBS) largest fundraiser of the year,
kicks off on March 6, at Bel-Mar Lanes in Sidney starting at 4 p.m.,
and at McBo’s Lanes in Versailles starting at 5:30 p.m.
Bel-Mar will also have lanes available on day one of this two-day
bowl-a-thon at 5:30 and 7 p.m. On March 7, bowling will continue at
11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Bel-Mar, and at noon at McBo’s. Teams can
reserve lanes now.
Participation is open to the public, and community members are asked to
form teams of four to six members. Individual bowlers are asked to
raise a minimum of $50, or $25 if under 18, to be eligible to
participate in this event. Teams can comprise friends, family and/or
co-workers, and high school students are encouraged to participate.
Participation includes admission to the party, a T-shirt, snacks, one
hour of bowling and chances to win door prizes.
The money raised goes directly towards establishing one-to-one
mentoring relationships between positive role models and children in
need. Last year alone the agency served over 300 children throughout
Shelby and Darke County. BBBS is also a Darke and Shelby County United
Way partner agency.
All funds stay in the county in which they are raised. The goal for
this year’s event is $48,000, and the agency is currently short of that
goal by $32,000. Bowl for Kids’ Sake is an affordable advertising
opportunity for local companies and businesses and a chance for
employee team-building. Different sponsorship levels are available, and
prize donations are greatly appreciated.
