What, Where, When and How?

Bowl For Kid's Sake, Friday February 8th, 2008
We will be holding the main event at Peterborough Bowlerama in Brookdale Plaza, Chemong Rd. Bigs and Littles are encouraged to take part by collecting pledges from friends and family on behalf of their team and to participate in the event by either bowling as part of a team or as a match. Bigs and Littles can call the agency and sign up in December. This would give you first choice of the day and time that you wish to bowl and will give you a head start on your pledge requests throughout the Christmas holidays. How Does it Work?

Bowling participants put together a team of 4 members which can be either a team of friends, family, co-workers, or if part of our membership, may opt to sign up for a "Big & Little" team (which we will help organize).
Teams attend at their pre-agreed time slot and check in at the receiving table (where they turn in their collected pledges).
The teams do not compete against each other for bowling scores, but rather for "Best Team Outfit" and "Highest Team Pledges".
Individuals can also win prizes for highest individual total pledges Early Birds who sign up for the event right away will be eligible to win a great dinner prize for their entire team!

Who are the Participants?

Bowlers can be teams from every walk of this community, from staff of a business to a group of students, to a family who wants to share time together doing something great for the community! And of course members of the agency.

How Will Your Participation Help?

Every dollar raised goes to the funding of the agency's programs .
Dollars raised assist with the funding of our In School Mentoring Program allowing us to purchase baking goods, games and activities for our Littles and Mentors to enjoy while getting together .
Dollars raised assist with the creation, production and delivery of our quarterly newsletter which allows us to keep our members up to date.
Dollars raised help fund the expenses of our many special events put on for our Bigs and Littles, from Kids & Kops to our Annual Recruitment BarBQ.
