Bowl for Kids' Sake has gone VIRTUAL! 

 In compliance with orders from the Governor we are suspending the Hampton Roads and Virginia Peninsula Bowl for Kids’ Sake bowling parties. Helping to mitigate the spread of the virus means minimizing contact with large groups of people, especially at indoor events. But we are adaptable – and so is Bowl for Kids’Sake!

 It’s more important now than ever that we are able to support the hundreds of kids that need mentors in Virginia. Bowl for Kids’ Sake is BBBS’ largest annual fundraiser, and we’re still $22,604 away from our yearly goal! Since we can't host a physical event, we're having a virtual one! The rules are almost exactly the same as before – except we will be offering the chance to play a brand new exclusive BBBS Bowling Video Game!

BBBS serves youths ages 6 to 18 by matching youth (Littles) with caring, consistent adult mentors (Bigs).

$500

Sponsor the costs of ten background checks for potential mentors. Child safety is the first factor in matching Bigs & Littles and is key to ensure we clear the path to a child's brightest future. Each potential Big has an extensive, layered background check completed prior to their interview.
