Bowling for kids' sake raises thousands

The board of directors, taff and participants of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flathead County would like to thank the community for the wonderful response to the recent Bowl For Kids' Sake fundraiser.

Our appreciation goes out to all of the bowlers, sponsors and businesses for being so generous with their time and financial support.

The multi-day event has brought in pledge amounts that totaled nearly $47,000! Big Brothers Big Sisters has grown two-fold in the last five years, to support many more children in one-to-one, professionally supported relationships with screened mentors from the community.

These funds will make it possible to sustain this level of service to the community and to work towards our vision of matching each child who wants or needs a mentor, right here in the Flathead Valley.

A special thank you to the Pin & Cue, Northshore Lanes and Glacier Lanes for hosting the event and to Pizza Hut and Pepsi for providing refreshments.

Without your outstanding support, this would not have been possible.

We feel proud that the community shares this vision for mentoring.

Sincerely,

Jori Bullemer

Executive Director
