Event Information

Bowl For Kids' Sake is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa's signature fundraiser. Because of Bowl For Kids' Sake, more Bigs and Littles can be matched, more friendships can be created and improved outlooks on life can be started.

Bowl For Kids' Sake is a fun and easy way to positively impact a child's life. Just follow the simple steps below:

  1. Form your team. Teams are formed with a maximum of 5 team members. You can ask friends, family, co-workers, cousins, neighbors, brothers, classmates... seriously, anyone can be on your team! Your team captain can sign up online, then everybody else can join them.
  2. Set a goal and fundraise. We try to make this part as easy as possible... and it is! When you register, a personal fundraising page is created just for you. Share your URL to ask for donations via social media, email or text! Before you know it, you will be a fundraising rockstar! We ask each bowler to raise a minimum of $150, but many teams collectively raise over $1,000.  The best part is that all of the event expenses are underwritten by our corporate sponsors. That means 100% of the money raised by bowlers goes directly towards supporting children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa.
  3. Party! After you reach your fundraising goal, it's time to have fun! Your team can choose the bowling session that works for you and join us for two hours of free bowling, beer, prizes, and the most fun you'll ever have in rented shoes. Pick the date that works best for your team during the month of March or April and we'll see you there!

So what are you waiting for? Start your team today! Partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa through Bowl For Kids' Sake makes a positive, long-lasting impact on children in our community. Our mentoring works. It works to help broaden children's perspectives and help them learn how to make good choices. It starts a child on the path to fulfilling their potential and succeeding in school and life.
