New Windsor - So what if you throw a gutter ball, miss the spare, or look funky in bowling shoes? What matters is that you’re there in support of our kids. Plan to step up and be counted at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County’s Bowl For Kids’ Sake annual fundraiser on Sunday, March 28, 2010 from 12:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. at Bowling Time Lanes in New Windsor.
Dozens of businesses are showing their support as sponsors and many more individuals have come together to form teams in support of our countywide mentoring services. Dozens of businesses, including "Strike" level sponsors, Chubb Insurance, Walden Savings Bank and SimplexGrinnell, have already pledged their support. Your family, friends, co-workers, service clubs, schools, church groups, community groups, and businesses are also welcome to participate. It’s easy to get started forming your team by signing up online at www.mentorachild.org/bfks or by calling (845) 562-5900 to request a team packet. As March 28th draws near the bowling times are being booked, and we need to fill the house throughout the day to reach our goal.
In 2010 as in other years, it’s the individuals who form teams and fundraise that make the event a success. Bowlers from all parts of Orange County and beyond are stepping up to start teams and tell their friends that Bowl For Kids’ Sake is a fun-filled day of friends, music, free food and prizes as we celebrate and thank everyone for supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters. Donated support from Loughran’s Restaurant will generously nourish our bowlers, and Party Time Productions will be keeping the good times rolling with donated DJ services.
