Bowl for Kids Sake 2012

Dig out your lucky bowling shoes!  Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake 2012 is taking place across the Island on Saturday March 3rd and Sunday, March 4th.

We have been busy planning a great 80’s themed event.  There are tons of great new prizes and this year some lucky Islander will win an Exclusive, Escorted Trip for 2 to a Caribbean Destination with The Travel Store’s Exclusive Holiday Reunion 2013!  It's going to be gnarly.  I kid you not!!

This year, Big Brothers Big Sisters PEI would like to respond to a need in the community; half of the money raised in Tignish will be donated to the the    Bobbi- Jo LeClair fund.

What is Bowl for Kids Sake?

In addition to our Dream Cottage Campaign, Bowl for Kids Sake is one of our major fundraisers: it raises more than 34% of our operating budget.  Money raised from this event allows us to offer a variety of programs to Island children.  Last year, our teams raised nearly $160,000.  This year, our goal is to raise $175,000 so that we can serve more Island children.  toy story

Money raised will help us:

  • recruit and screen volunteers
  • professionally support our matches
  • run programs like Kids N Kops
  • host events for our Big/Little matches
  • provide materials for In-School Mentors
