DOOR COUNTY BOWL FOR KIDS SAKE IS MARCH 9
Team bowling event supports Big Brothers Big Sisters Door County programs
STURGEON BAY, Wis. (March 1, 2019) — Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin invites the community to participate in Bowl For Kids’ Sake, the agency’s signature fundraiser combining bowling and team spirit with a pledge drive to support youth mentoring in Door County, on Saturday, March 9, at Apple Valley Lanes.
The 13th Door County event takes participants to “Infinity and Beyond!” with an outer space theme that encourages teams to dress the part of their favorite outer space icon — planets and the Milky Way, aliens and astronauts, or characters from popular TV and movies like “Star Trek” and “Star Wars.”
Teams of supporters helped raise more than $26,000 in net revenue last year for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Door County at Bowl For Kids’ Sake. This year’s event is Saturday, March 9. Teams can register at bbbsnew.org. Follow the event on Facebook at facebook.com/bbbsdoorcounty.
Company and team sponsorships combined with individual bowlers who raise pledges will help raise money to support programming for this year.
“Bowl for Kids’ Sake is a fun way for individuals and companies to make an impact on the youth of Door County,” says Katie Hess, executive director. “The support from this event directly affects children, whose mentors help them broaden their perspective and start on a path in life to fulfill their potential.”
The event is made possible by the Green Bay Packers, Tadych’s Econofoods, Nicolet National Bank, Door County Medical Center, Scaturo’s Baking Co. & Café, Denistry by Design, along with promotional support from Rewind 97.7 FM.
More than 100 bowlers helped raise nearly $26,000 in net revenue last year.
Most participants are not regular bowlers. Bowl For Kids’ Sake is about having fun for a good cause. Participants can register to bowl and collect pledges online or download a pledge form to track their fundraising.
Bowlers will receive two free games of bowling 9 pin tap (ball and shoe rental included), food, a T-shirt and chances to win prizes and bucket raffles.
