The North Wellington Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids campaign is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
Organizers say it’s community support that makes the event a success.
“Some of you bowl, others sponsor a bowler, while others yet choose to give a corporate donation or take advantage of our lane sponsorship opportunity” organizers state. “Whether you’re a longtime supporter or a brand new team we are delighted to have you join us.”
This year’s theme is “Superheroes” and participants are urged to dress in their favourite superhero attire.
“Our goal is to raise $60,000 this year and we know, with your support, we can do it. Each year we are overwhelmed by our community’s generosity,” states coordinator Terri Dykeman.
The 2016 campaign kickoff is on Feb. 21 at 10:30am at the Mount Forest Bowling Centre, with the Minto-Mapleton community bowling at 11am. Mount Forest and community is up next on Feb. 28 and the Arthur/Alma communities bowl on March 6.
“Big Brothers and Sisters give of their time year round to help improve the life for children in our community who need our support,” said Dykeman. “Coming out to bowl in our campaign is a fun way to support these programs.”
