WHO:

Calling all individuals who want to help children facing adversity achieve success:

  • Individuals, friends & families
  • Greek & other student organizations
  • Faith communities
  • Civic groups, clubs & associations
  • Workplaces of all kinds
  • WHY: 


    It's really not about bowling.
     Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Big Bend is a donor-supported, volunteer organization. Each year, we reach out to the community requesting help to fund the creation and support of almost 400 mentoring relationships benefiting youth facing poverty, exposure to abuse, violence, drugs and crime, poor academic performance, or parental incarceration.

    Thanks to the efforts of Bowl for Kids’ Sake participants—sponsors, team captains and individual bowlers, like YOU—we raise $40,000 so that at-risk youth will beat the odds to:

  • Become the first child in their family to go to college
  • Reject drugs and find a new peer group
  • Resist pressure to become pregnant like her other friends
  • Realize they are smart enough to read or do multiplication tables
  •  Learn they really are valuable and loveable
  • WHEN, WHERE, & WHAT:

    Community Day Bowl: 

    Saturday, May 19, 2012 at Crenshaw Lanes (FSU Student Union)

    • Two games of bowling with shoes, t-shirts and opportunity drawings
    • Complimentary soda and sandwiches
    • Participants may choose one of four sessions on a first-come, first-serve basis:

    Session #1: 10:00 a.m. - noon
    Session #3: 3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
    Session #2: 12:30 - 2:30 p.m.
    Session #4: 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

    BIG Champion VIP Bowl (for sponsors $1,000+) 

    Thursday, May 17, 2012, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at Crenshaw Lanes (FSU Student Union)

    • Two games of bowling with shoes, t-shirts and opportunity drawings
    • Complimentary beer, soda and food 
    • Various attractive cause-related sponsorship benefits (see list)

    HOW:

    It’s EASY to start something...

    Sponsor: There are a myriad of attractive cause-related sponsorship benefits at levels ranging from $500-$5,000. Your workplace may even consider sponsoring your team.

    Become a Team Captain or Join a Team: Recruit 5-6 individuals and raise $100 each (team goal at least $500-$600) by collecting online and cash donations or join someone else’s team. Get creative by holding an online garage sale on craigslist.com, have a bake sale or simply send out an eAppeal.

    Be a Virtual Bowler: You don’t have to bowl to ask your friends, family, and coworkers to make small contributions to a cause you care about. Set your personal fundraising goal and use our easy online tool to blast emails far and wide. It is amazing how fast $10 donations add up!

    To learn more about any of these methods, contact R. Jai at r.jai@bigbendmentoring.org  or at 850.386.6002.
