Bowling for Kids Sake update

I wanted to thank everyone for their generous donations and continuing support of Big Brothers/Big Sisters.

Our bowling event was this past Saturday. We bowled the first session of the “Community Bowl.” It was a packed house and our session raised about $14,000. By the end of our session they had raised $43,000 with 11 more sessions to go! With your generous donations, Cathy and I raised $450, very close to my personal goal. We’ll know next Monday if the organization reached their goal for the year.

With your help, BB/BS will be able to continue to provide adult mentoring matches for 6-17 year old youth in Monroe and Owen Counties. Approximately 1/4th of their annual operating funds comes from the "Bowl for Kids Sake."
