Come bowl with me! 

By Dave Clapper

I'm going Bowling for a Cause and I need YOUR help.  You can either JOIN my team or make a small donation.  Either way - I'm calling on River Listeners to help ME make a difference.  I want to get my 8 teammates FIRST and hit my team goal FIRST but I need your help!

Bowl for Kids' Sake is Big Brothers Big Sisters' largest national fundraiser, raising over $20 million annually for children in need across the country. Because of Bowl for Kids' Sake, more Bigs and Littles can be paired up, more friendships can be created and improved outlooks on life can be started.

    About BBBS

    • Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta (BBBS), Founded in 1960, is the oldest and largest youth-mentoring organization in the Southeast
    • In 2011, BBBS served 3,400 children in 12 metro area counties by providing a carefully screened, adult volunteer mentor (Big)
    •  Bigs and Littles are matched based on shared interests, personality traits, geographic compatibility and the child’s individual needs
    • Big & Little Matches last a minimum of one year but in metro Atlanta, the average is nearly three years.
    • After just one year in the program, children exhibit significant academic improvements, increased self-confidence, more trust in adults and peers, increased caring attitudes and tend to avoid risky behaviors such as drugs, violence and early pregnancy.
    •  Currently, there are approximately 500 little boys waiting to be matched with a Big Brother – some wait for as long as two years.
    • It costs $1,000 to assess, screen, create and support one Big & Little Match for one year.
