Community set to 'strike it big' for Big Brothers/Big Sisters
By
-
“Strike it big!” is the rallying cry for South Central Ohio Big Brothers Big Sisters’ 2011 Bowl for Kids’ Sake.
The bowl-a-thon, slated for May 1 at Highland Lanes in Hillsboro, is one of two main fund-raising events the agency conducts each year.
Participants bowl in teams of five, with each team member required to raise $50 in sponsorships; individual bowlers can be placed on a team. Each bowler
receives two free games – shoes included – two free soft drinks and food. Door prizes also will be awarded.
“It’s a way to get together with friends or co-workers, raise money for a good cause, win prizes and have fun,” Executive Director Karen McDonald-Myers said. “It’s something that everyone can do.”
McDonald-Myers emphasized that having fun and helping the community, not scoring a perfect 300, are the order of the day.
“Anyone can bowl, and scores don’t matter,” she said. “This is about helping kids and not about bowling.”
To reserve a lane or find out more about Bowl for Kids’ Sake, call (800) 888-6335 or send an e-mail to bbbssco@bright.net with “BFKS” in the subject line. Anyone wishing to volunteer or find out more about any other Big Brothers Big Sisters program can call or e-mail the office or visit the agency’s Web site at www.bbbssco.org.
There are currently 18 Highland County children waiting for a Big Brother, Big Sister or Big Couple.
