Bowl for Kids' Sake 2008
Thank you Gallatin County for making Bowl for Kids' Sake a success! We had a great time and are already looking forward to seeing you at Bowl for Kids' Sake 2009!
What is Bowl for Kids' Sake all about?
It's about kids. BFKS is Gallatin County's largest community fundraiser. It raises crucial funds for the children of Gallatin County. We serve over 500 children annually in the county through a variety of community based and school based one-to-one mentoring programs.
Over 70% of BBBS of Gallatin County's operating revenue comes from our major fundraisers, including Bowl for Kid's Sake.
How do I raise money?
You ask your friends, family, colleagues, hair dresser, and dog walker to "pledge" their support for you. You come to bowl on your choice of weekends in September and bring with you your "pledge sheet" of all the names and addresses of the people who agreed to support you. You can also raise money online by setting up your own fudraising page at firstgiving.com/bbbsgc . Just email your friends and family a link to your page and watch the money roll in!
Why should I Bowl for Kids' Sake?
Because it matters. With an exploding population and the growing pressures that are put on our youth, Big Brothers Big Sisters is even more relevant. Time and time again, studies have shown the benefits of Big Brothers Big Sisters programs. We have over 30 years (just here in Gallatin County) of proven success in creating positve friendships that benefit children, volunteers, families, schools, neighborhoods, and the community.
