Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeastern Pennsylvania is proud to announce the return
of the popular Bowl for Kids’ Sake event. The fundraising event resumes after a pandemic hiatus for the
first time since 2019. Executive Director Michelle Hamilton says, “We’re excited to bring back Bowl for
Kids’ Sake this year. This event has a 40-year history of not only raising funds for the organization, but
bringing together the community in support of critical one-one-one mentoring relationships for children in
need.”
Bowling this year will take place in three locations this April. April 15 th at Faxon Lanes in Williamsport,
April 15 th at Skylanes Bowling Center in East Stroudsburg, and April 29 th at Chacko’s Family Bowling
Center in Wilkes-Barre. For the first time, a bowl on your own option will be available for teams to bowl
anytime throughout the month of April in Wilkes Barre. Hamilton adds that, “The pandemic has taught us
that the world can be more flexible when it needs to be. We wanted to give our loyal supporters the
opportunity to help support the event even if they cannot make the designated bowl day, or want to bowl at a
time that’s convenient to them.”
Area bowlers are asked to form teams, and register by visiting bbbsnepa.org. We also encourage area
businesses to participate either in terms of gathering bowling teams, and sponsorships for the event. All
proceeds raised will benefit critical one-on-one mentoring relationships for children right here in our
community through Big Brothers Big Sisters of NEPA. Any individual bowler who raises $50 or more, will
receive a commemorative t-shirt, and will be entered into a raffle for a brand-new PS 5 Sony play station.
Additional prizes will be offered, along with some fun twists as we throw it back to the 1980s in honor of the
40 th anniversary of this event. Please visit our website at www.bbbsnepa.org or social media pages for
additional updates.
Since its inception in 1974, Big Brothers Big Sisters has strived to provide high quality mentoring
services to the children and families of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
