Big Brothers Big Sisters Ingersoll, Tillsonburg & Area are celebrating one of the best Bowl For Kids Sakes in a decade.
INGERSOLL & TILLSONBURG - Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ingersoll, Tillsonburg, and Area are celebrating one of their most successful Bowl for Kids Sake in a decade.
The four day event managed to raise almost $40,500 this past spring, which is the second highest amount the annual event has raised in 10 years!
Resource Development Coordinator Heather Brekelmans says all of the money will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters programs and services.
"When you're matched in an In-School Mentoring match you play a board game, a card game, or you access the resources in a bin that we fill with all sorts of crafts and things like that and that money goes towards restocking that bin and buying that bin in the first place."
The money also pays for the trips the bigs and littles go on and the training and screening of mentors.
The 33rd annual Bowl for Kids' Sake celebrated Canada's 150th birthday with a Canadian theme.
Brekelmans already has plans in place for the next Bowl for Kids Sake.
"Next year's theme will be Monsters and Monster Bash so that will be a little bit of the quirky and funny different types of monsters so that should be a lot of fun!"
