Bowl for a Cause with Big Brothers Big Sisters
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region invites you to Bowl for Kids’ Sake and defend the potential of youth across Lancaster County.

Lancaster County, PA (March 4, 2024) – Bowl for a cause this spring! You are invited to join Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region (BBBSCR) at 222 Dutch Lanes in Ephrata on April 7^th at 2:00pm for the biggest bowling party in the region!

Bowl for Kids’ Sake, sponsored by Hershey’s Chocolate World, raises necessary funds to sustain BBBSCR’s mentoring relationships and support over 1,000 youth across their 5-county service area each year. Director of Lebanon & Lancaster Counties, Deborah Hornick, invites families, clubs, companies, and organizations to participate in this year’s event.

“Community involvement in our fundraising events is vital, not only for program sustainability, but growth,” says Hornick. “It’s thanks to this support that we can create positive one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.”

Hornick sees firsthand the positive impact mentoring has on kids in Lancaster County.

“Feeling acceptance, support and self-worth are something our youth struggle with on a daily basis. I almost broke down in tears when a child who I was interviewing for our program asked me for one thing: ‘Could my Big just give me a hug once in a while?’”

“All of the money raised through this event will stay here in Lancaster County, supporting program growth and helping local families and kids,” says Hornick.

Each Bowl for Kids’ Sake team (made up of 5 individuals) is asked to raise $500 collectively (or $100 a person), although everyone is encouraged to think big and raise above the minimum.

To celebrate everyone’s support, each team at Bowl for Kids’ Sake will enjoy two hours of bowling, free shoe rentals, pizza, drinks, music, t-shirts and raffle prizes. Prizes will be awarded to the top individual fundraiser and the highest team fundraiser.

Register your Bowl for Kids’ Sake team at CAPBIGS.ORG/EVENTS. Sponsorships and company team opportunities are available. Contact BBBSCR at events@capbigs.org or (717) 236-0199.
