The Quesnel community is striking up support for Big Brothers & Big Sisters’ annual charity event gets rolling today, Oct. 24.
Joanie Newman says 25 teams have registered for this year’s Bowl for Kids Sake, taking place at Rev Bowling Lanes on Reid Street in Quesnel.
“Our goal is to bring in $100 per person,” Newman says. “It’s one of our biggest fundraisers, second only to our golf one. Which has only been bigger in the last few years.”
According to Newman, all the money raised will stay in the Quesnel community and be used for the mentoring programs Big Brothers & Big Sisters offer.
The event will be split into three sessions, with door prizes awarded for each session.
“The first session is a Halloween-themed one, donated by Big Brothers & Big Sisters,” Newman says. The second session is going to be a $50 gift card to Mama C’s Gifts & Giggles. The third prize will be a Yearly Pass to Barkerville Historic Town.”
There will also be a $10 squares with tickets to BC Lions regular home game tickets. The grand prize to whomever collects the most monies will get two tickets to Vancouver on Pacific Coastal Airlines, and two Vancouver Canadians baseball tickets.
The Bowl for Kids Sake’s first session starts at 3:30 pm. The second at 5:30 pm, and the third and final session starts at 7:30 pm.
