The longer I work at BBBS, the more it becomes crystal clear how our organization makes a difference in the lives of young people. For over three years now, I have been a Big Brother to Brandon. He is a good kid that is trying to figure out his path in life. My goal is to simply be his friend and try to guide him down the road that makes him a productive member of society and breaks the pattern of those that have come before him have unfortunately failed.

Truly I have gotten more out of this experience than I ever would have imagined. It has changed my perspective on a number of issues but also made me grateful to have the upbringing and support from family and friends that most of us take for granted. 

The average cost for our agency to make a match and sustain it for one year is $1,000. So my goal is to raise enough money to support our match. Thank you for the consideration to support Brandon and I!

It's not about the bowling...it's about the kids!

Bowl For Kids’ Sake is the perfect way for individuals to make an impact on our community - it only takes a little bit of effort to raise the money that is vital to our program’s success!
