| Bowl for Kids'
Sake
Additional
Bowling Date Added for April
9
We are so thankful to all our February
teams who participated in Bowl for Kids'
Sake. We want all teams to
know they can continue to raise money
until April 9th!
We have added an additional bowling
night on April 9th at 6 p.m .at Professor Bowl due
to a shortage of teams this year. If
you know of anyone who might be interested in
having a team and bowling on this night
contact Lakethia at lglenn@bbbsca.org. We
are working towards hitting our goal of $80,000
and have about $20,000 more to raise. With
your help we can do it!
Even if you can not bowl, you can still
register online and ask friends and family to
support Big Brothers Big Sisters by donating to
your team
online. |
