Big Brother Big Sisters need you
Big Brothers & Big Sisters will be holding its Bowlathon on April 19 at Camelot Lanes in Boardman. Having Fun For Kids: Bowl For Kids Sake is definitely not "about" bowling. It's about having fun taking part in a group outing with people you know and like. It's also our most important fund-raising event, and all the money you help raise goes directly toward matching children with Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Who Bowls For Kid: Bowl For Kids' Sake bowlers and sponsors are people just like you--people who want to give back to the community , especially to children. Anyone and everyone can get involved as a bowler, or a team captain, or as a sponsor--or all three! If you care about kids, and can "spare" a little time for fun, you're a Bowl For Kids' Sake bowler. How You Can Help: Anyone can bowl!!! Just secure a team of six (6) people and collect pledges from relatives, co-workers, friends, and sponsors. If you cannot create a team, we will place you on a team. Each team will bowl from 4-7 p.m. and enjoy free bowling and shoes.
Each team member who collects $75 or more, will receive a t-shirt, be eligible for more than 100 door prizes, 10 major prizes, and will enjoy food from 20 area restaurants!
Collect pledges prior to the bowlathon and place them in a pledge envelope (provided by Big Brothers & Big Sisters) and return your pledge envelope to your team captain. It's that easy!
