Little Moments. Big Magic.™
Think back to your youth. Think about the person in your childhood who shared new experiences and ideas with you. Perhaps it was a teacher, a coach, or a grandmother. Regardless, they introduced some magic into your world and your eyes opened wide. By becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister, you too can turn little bits of magic into big moments in a child's life.
Bowl for Kids’ Sake is our largest annual fundraiser. The annual event is a celebration for Donors and Bigs, but the money is raised in a bowl-a-thon format. All of the money raised goes directly to support the one-to-one mentoring relationships we sponsor.
