Bowl for Kids’ Sake

Bowl for Kids' Sake (BFKS) is our signature event and has continued to grow each year. 2016 was no exception! With over 800 bowlers, our BFKS participants, supporters and sponsors raised over $62,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Rochester. These dollars allow us to provide mentoring services to children across Monroe, Ontario, Yates, Wayne and Livingston County.
Thank you to every single one of our bowlers, sponsors, supporters and volunteers for making this year's Bowl for Kids' Sake a huge success. We're so excited by the success of 2016 that we're already planning our 2017 season!
