Dear Friend,

Throughout March 2019, Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Niagara will be holding their annual “TIM HORTONS BOWL FOR KIDS SAKE” campaign. With two locations and a busy schedule of events, Bowl for Kids Sake is a key factor in raising funds to support programs in the Welland, Pelham, Port Colborne, Wainfleet and Greater Fort Erie communities. This event takes place in Welland & Fort Erie during the month of March at Jeff’s Bowl-O-Rama in Welland and Carroll’s Bowling Lanes in Fort Erie. Please review the enclosed sponsorship package and consider how you can help children and youth become the best they can be within the Southern Niagara communities.

Our goal of $40,000 will be the result of a combination of generous sponsors, participants and volunteers. All proceeds will benefit children in South Niagara. You may direct your sponsorship to where it is needed most or to programs supporting children specifically within Greater Fort Erie. Big Brothers Big Sisters free programs include; In School Mentoring, Go Girls!, Game On!, Traditional One to One Big Brothers, Big Sisters and Big Couple programs. With either choice you will receive promotion at both community events while the joint coordination will allow us to make your dollars go further in impacting the services we provide to our children.

“TIM HORTONS BOWL FOR KIDS SAKE” is a fund-raising campaign where teams of 4-6 bowlers must raise a minimum of $200 per team to bowl. As in the past, this event promises to be full of fun especially since our theme this year is “Fandemonium.” Wear jerseys, team gear, sport or game getup to dress up and represent your favorite sport or hobby! Stir up excitement within your community by supporting this fun filled event!

If your business would like more information on participating in this exciting event please call the office at 905-735-0570 or 905-871-8836 ext. 221, or visit our website at www.bbbsinniagara.ca

Thank you for taking the time to read and consider our request. If you have any questions or would like additional information about our programs, or Bowl for Kids Sake, we welcome your call.

Thanking you in advance as we recognize that children are the future of our communities.

Sincerely,

Barb Van Der Heyden Jessica Trapani
