Community members looking for a fun way to support local youth mentorship programs can take part in Bowl for Kids’ Sake, Big Brothers Big Sisters’ largest annual fundraiser. The event is set for Saturday, March 29, 2025, at The Alley of Salina, 115 E. Ash St.
“Currently the wait list of youth in need of a mentor has reached a little over 60. The need for youth mentorship, in our community, is at an all-time high. The proceeds from events like Bowl For Kids’ Sake are instrumental in creating and supporting safe mentoring relationships for area youth,” said Salina Big Brother Big Sisters Executive Director, Amanda Otto.
Participants can form a six-person team with friends, coworkers, or family members. Each bowler is encouraged to raise $100 individually, with a team goal of $600. Once fundraising is complete, teams will gather at The Alley for a celebration featuring free bowling, pizza, and drinks.
Otto said the goal is to raise $100,000 to empower the hundreds of children served by BBBS in Saline County.
This year’s theme, “The Golden Era,” brings the spirit of the 1920s to life—a time of innovation, hope, and community impact. Your participation is a powerful way to invest in the future of our youth, and together, we can create life-changing mentoring relationships.
Those interested can register online to create a personal fundraising page, which can be shared with supporters via social media, email, or text.
Funds raised through Bowl for Kids’ Sake directly support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Salina, helping to provide mentorship opportunities for local children.
