It's time to ROLL! 🎳 Our annual FUN-raiser Bowl For Kids' Sake 2026 is THIS SUNDAY, and there is still time to register your team in support of our free mentoring programs: https://bit.ly/B4KS2026

Bowl for Kids’ Sake is more than a day at the lanes. When sponsors step up, when teams come together, and when friend groups turn a day at the lanes into something bigger, you help match more young people in our local community with a mentor who believes in them. 🩵

Gather your coworkers, rally your friends, or partner with us as a sponsor! Register now and help change the life of a child who’s just waiting for someone to show up.
