LANARK COUNTY — Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBSLC) is excited to once again be partnering with the local Tim Hortons restaurants for the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event on Feb. 26th and 28th. Last year this event raised over $75,000, with more than 400 bowlers coming out to support the event. Title and Corporate sponsors ensure that all funds raised through event pledges go directly to fund mentoring programs right here in Lanark County.
The event is a straight forward fundraiser – interested participants can call the Big Brothers Big Sisters office and register their group. Each team receives a kit that includes pledge sheets, and is encouraged to raise funds to support the agency’s mentoring programs. Teams book a lane through the agency and then come out and bowl in one of three locations generously supporting the fundraiser; Gratton Lanes in Smiths Falls, Chasin’ Turkeys in Carleton Place and Spare Room Bowling Lanes in Perth. Don’t worry if you’re not a bowler – it’s a fun time where neighbours come together for a great cause! Remember – It’s not about the bowling!
Your team can be as small as two people or as large as your whole company or large family. There is no minimum amount to raise. There is room for everyone, and every dollar matters.
For teams participating in Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake, funds can also be raised on line, which makes asking for money a whole lot easier!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is a not for profit volunteer driven organization which helps children develop to their unique potential through consistent, dependable and unconditional adult friendship. The agency has been a part of the Lanark County community for more than 50 years. Over that time thousands of children have seen the benefit of a caring adult; someone to share their lives with, someone that they can confide in and look up to.
Local Corporations step up in a huge way to support this event. Sponsors have covered all the overhead costs of the event, which means that all funds raised by teams go directly to fund mentoring programs for local children. These sponsors include; Tim Hortons as title sponsor, TD Bank, Canadian Tire, Eaton, Ogilvies Auto and Fleet, Campbells Trucking, Rideau Home Hardware, Cogeco TV, MY FM, Hinton Dodge Chrysler, Kinsmen Club Smiths Falls, Rotary Club Smiths Falls, Mike Fair Chev Olds, Rob Roys Pub and Salon Aurora.
