It's not "about" bowling -- it's about doing something fun that benefits kids. 

Bowl for Kids’ Sake!

If you had the opportunity to help kids in our community and at the same time be a part of a fun, feel-good, free activity – wouldn’t you consider it?

Bowl for Kids’ Sake (BFKS) is Big Brothers Big Sisters' largest fund-raising campaign. Each year, hundreds of individuals participate locally and over a thousand contribute.

Bowlers enjoy a fun outing with friends -- and get the satisfaction of knowing that they're making a difference to kids in Will and Grundy counties. 

Team captains (anyone can be a team captain!) form teams of 5 people.  Each team member is expected to raise at least $100 in donations -- and are encouraged to raise a team total of $1,000 -- by asking family, friends and colleagues. 

On the team's selected day of bowling, each team member bringing in $100 minimum in donations will get:

  • 2 free games of bowling

  • shoe and ball rental

  • Bowl for Kids' Sake 2007 t-shirt

  • pizza and pop (at daytime events) or a round of drinks (at evening events)

Company Bowl for Kids’ Sake!

If you had the opportunity to have a personalized fun, feel-good, free activity for your company and at the same time help kids in our community - wouldn’t you consider it?

A Company Bowl is a fantastic fun event that is great for employee morale and the opportunity for incredible public marketing filled with free bowling, prizes, food and games! Company Bowls are an additional component of Big Brothers Big Sisters’ annual Bowl for Kids Sake Campaign, allowing companies and organizations to participate in the Bowling Party whenever it is most convenient for them.

With 10 (or more) teams you can customize the event to increase company enthusiasm and build camaraderie within your organization with:

  • Company trivia and games

  • Departmental challenges

  • Teambuilding and motivation

Don’t have 10 teams?  Challenge a friendly competitor or company partner to join with you and make your Company Bowl a great success! You still pick the date and time that is convenient for you!

No entry fee! Your company has a bowling center dedicated to you for two hours of fun, food, games and prizes while working together to help local kids.

  • Each bowler is given a pledge sheet and asked to have a minimum of ten sponsors at $10 each.

  • This completed sponsor sheet serves as admission to the party.

  • Pledges may be collected from family, friends, neighbors, etc.

  • Several companies also offer to match pledges for what their employees collect.
