Bowlers Pack Lanes To Bowl For Kids’ Sake

  • Wednesday, April 25, 2018

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Chattanooga laced up their bowling shoes for the past two weekends to raise money to help fund mentoring programs for the agency.  Bowl for Kids’ Sake is the organization’s largest annual fundraiser and has been ongoing for 27 years.

Bowling teams from local companies, community supporters and friends all rolled in to Spare Time Hixson to compete and show their team spirit.  Many “Bigs” and “Littles” joined in the fun as well. In all, over 300 bowlers and many sponsors helped make this a record-breaking year, enabling BBBS to support 105 new matches.  Money raised by this event helps fund volunteer recruitment, the process of matching mentors and youth, and match support.

"A special thanks to the employees of EMJ Corporation who were instrumental in making the event a huge success," officials said.
