Bowl for Kids' Sake is Big Brothers Big Sisters largest national fundraiser, raising over $20 million annually for children in need across the country. Because of Bowl for Kids' Sake, more Bigs and Littles can be paired up, more friendships can be created and improved outlooks on life can be started.
Bowl for Kids' Sake is a fun and easy way to positively impact a child's life. Just follow the simple steps below:
1) Start a team - Teams are formed with five or six members. Consider creating a team with family, friends, fraternity brothers, sorority sisters, or co-workers.
2) Start securing donations - The most common way to do this is sharing the link via social media or creating a Facebook fundraiser. Most bowlers raise about $170, but many people raise over $1,000. What impact do you want to have? You can also choose to make a donation yourself, click the donate button to donate any amount or choose one of our pre-selected donation amounts that may include some additional perks. Raise the money any way you want, host a jeans day at work, ask your team to pitch in together, or just make it personal.
The best part is that all of the event expenses are underwritten by our JPMC Sponsorship. That means the bowling party is free and 100% of the money raised by bowlers goes directly towards supporting children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters in your community.
3) Start bowling - After you have secured your sponsorships, it's time to have fun! If you attend one of our Thank You bowling parties you'll receive two hours of bowling (shoe and ball rental included!), a Bowl for Kids' Sake t-shirt, food, drinks, chances to win raffle prizes!
