How do you Bowl for Kids' Sake?
Register to START a team or JOIN a team of five bowlers. Or you can be a VIRTUAL BOWLER and raise money without being part of a team. Then, LOGIN to MY HQ to create your personalized webpage and use the easy email option to solicit friends, family and colleagues for online donations. On the selected day, come out to your designated bowling alley with a print out of the online donations you've raised, and enjoy two free bowling games, prizes and other fun extras.  The annual cost to match a Big Brother/Sister with a Little Brother/Sister is approx. $1,000. While the minimum to bowl is only $100 in donations per person, consider raising enough money to equal the cost of one match ($1,000) by asking 25 friends for a $40 donation. The challenge is great, but the rewards are even better!
Special Group Competitions!
Bowl for Kids' Sake offers a unique opportunity for groups from selected fields to team up for some friendly competition against other similar groups, and to roll a strike for the kids in our community! A winning trophy and bragging rights will be given to the team with the most donations raised in each category: Battle of Police & Fire Departments (3/2/08 only-- download info here)
Battle of Elected Officials (Select any date/location.)
