Allentown, PA-Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lehigh Valley is thrilled to announce our Biggest Fundraiser of the Year, Bowl for Kids’ Sake. Morgan Stanley and Service Electric are the Presenting Sponsors of this year’s event to be held on Sunday, April 2, 2023, at Jordan Lanes – Whitehall.
Bowlers are in for new, exciting activities and special surprises at the annual fundraiser. Mayors Sal Panto of Easton and J. William Reynolds of Bethlehem will kick off the competition with a ceremonial roll. This year’s theme, “March Madness” calls for people to create teams of up to five members to bowl in their favorite college basketball team jerseys for a chance to win grand prizes and giveaways for Best Dressed and Highest Scoring teams.
“For over 40 years, Bowl for Kids’ Sake has empowered Lehigh Valley’s youth to imagine a bigger future and make their dreams come true, says Susan Bartels, CEO of BBBSLV, with our community’s support, we can continue our mission to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring one-to-one relationships that have the power to change their lives, forever.
Mentorship connects young people with opportunities for personal growth and development. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lehigh Valley facilitates that growth by supporting Bigs (mentors) and Littles (mentees) in spending quality time together and enjoying simple activities such as working on school projects and homework, arts and crafts, playing tennis or going to a Lehigh Valley Legends basketball game.
“The Lehigh Valley is made up of great organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters,” says Mayor Reynolds, “and this event is a perfect example of what can happen when our cities come together for the greater good of their community.”
