Big Brothers/Big Sisters Hosts Bowling Party Benefit

Free bowling, entertainment, refreshments!

Big Brothers/Big Sisters of San Francisco and the Peninsula announces
its annual Bowl For Kids' Sake fundraiser events. The first two
community day bowl-a-thons will be held on May 6th at Classic Lanes in
Daly City and June 3rd at Palo Alto Bowl.  The Daly City event will
feature karaoke, and the Palo Alto event will feature jazz
entertainment.

For a fun afternoon of free bowling, entertainment, refreshments, and a
chance to win great prizes, contact the Big Brothers/Big Sisters office
at (415) 693-7700. Individuals, groups, or organizations are welcome to
participate.

Bowlers who collect a minimum of $75 in pledges will receive a free
T-shirt and will be eligible to win the grand prize of two roundtrip
tickets on US Air.  Big Brothers/Big Sisters will be responsible for
collecting the bowlers' pledges.

The bowling bash benefits the agency's programs for matching children
from single-parent families with adult volunteers who act as role
models and friends to these boys and girls.  A one-to-one relationship
with a caring adult can provide the support a child needs to grow and
mature in a positive way - boosting self-confidence and providing a
broader view of the world.

Last year, Bowl For Kids' Sake attracted more than 2000 participants
from companies and community groups throughout the Bay Area.

"The event is an enjoyable way to bring friends and co-workers together
to raise money for a really worthwhile cause," states Community
Outreach Coordinator Barbara Snider.  "People do not need to know how
to bowl to join in the fun."
