News Release

WARSAW — Big Brothers Big Sisters concludes another successful year of Bowl For Kids’ Sake fundraising, rounding up a total of over $29,000 for its mentorship programs in Kosciusko County.

Presented by Pro Resources, the annual bowling fundraiser hosted at The Bowling Alley drew in players from across the county during its two sessions on the first, who each made it their goal to raise big for Littles in BBBS programs and those on the waitlist. Their fundraising efforts, which lasted through March, contributed to over $29,000 raised.

All of these teams showed they support the BBBS mission as much as they embrace the wild, wild west with their cowboy hats, boots, lassos, and bandanas. This year’s Best Dressed winners were the Boo Scootin’ Bowlers and the Moving Pictures Tattoo Cinema teams who went home with BBBS merch prizes.
