This exciting event is a cornerstone of the organization’s efforts to support its no-cost, life-changing mentorship programs for local youth.
The event will be hosted at The Bowling Alley in Owen Sound (April 24-26) and Georgian Bowl in Collingwood (May 2), where participants will come together for a weekend of friendly competition, community connection, and a shared commitment to inspiring young lives.
“Forty-five years marks more than just an annual fundraiser – Bowl for Kids' Sake is a legacy of this community's commitment to supporting young people. The event’s history and impact can be traced back to our early years and to this day, the event exists as a vital fundraiser for our organization and its growing impact” (Beth Aubrey, Executive Director).
This year's event will once again be made possible by the generous support of Bruce Power, Century 21, and the Bowling Alley. Those contributions help ensure that every dollar raised goes directly to our mentorship programs, reaching children, youth and families across the three counties served.
