For 11 years, Bowl For Kids’ Sake (BFKS) has been the largest and most important annual fundraiser for Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Union County. In 2008, this event raised more than $25,000 in important operating revenue.
This accomplishment has enabled us to positively impact the lives of thousands of children through quality
Mentoring relationships. We touch the lives of children who are most at-risk, and inspire them to become confident,
competent and caring individuals in our community. Research has proven the unquestionable benefits of mentoring,
and the need for our programs continues to grow at an unprecedented rate.
