The first Big Brothers/Big Sisters “Bowling Challenge” fundraiser was held in April 1985, at Northway Lanes. In the years that followed, “Bowl For Kids’ Sake” grew to be known as signature spring events. In the 1990’s, supporters pledging to raise $1000 each were honored as “The BIG Team,” and later “King Pins” were publicly recognized for committing to raise $500 each. In 2006, BBBSL even experimented with “Speed Bowl Dating”… no records report how well that went, but it wasn’t repeated!
In honor of this rich legacy of bowling fun, let’s go bowling again! [Download Flyer]

Who: We are not raising money for BBBSL. Profits of registration fees will benefit the Lakeshore Youth Mentoring Fund, which will make grants to support mentoring programs for youth. Several great agencies will be joining us to meet the bowlers and share their stories. Participating orgs have the opportunity to present raffles, silent auctions or prizes; each will collect their own proceeds.
