All youth deserve a positive role model in their lives. Community members are invited to participate in Bowl for Kids' Sake by entering a team of 4-6 people to bowl on Saturday, May 14th for two hours between 10:00 - Noon or Noon -2:00. The bowler who raises the most money for Big Brothers Big . Sisters will receive an awesome grand prize trip to Las Vegas for 2! You don't have to be a great bowler. Anyone can come and bowl to support the program and make a difference in the life of a child in our community!

BBBSCO is a one-to-one mentoring program; which matches professionally screened and trained volunteers with youth throughout the Tri County area. The purpose of BBBSCO is to give children & families the opportunity to form meaningful relationships with volunteer mentors. Our program provides many match activities for program participates (i.e. rafting, snowshoeing, camping, fishing, etc.). Many `Gigs" and "Littles" spend their time taking advantage of the Central Oregon landscape. Our leadership structure stems from being a part of the largest regional youth development provider. We are a program of J Bar J Youth Services; which provides executive leadership, accounting, grant writing and many administrative functions. BBBSCO has its own Advisory Board and Program Director; who provide support, oversight and guide the program while working closely with 2 Advisory Boards in surrounding counties. (See attached Organizational Chart) 2.) Bowl For Kids' Sake is an annual fundraising event which helps in providing financial support to ensure the future quality and growth of the program. This will be our 12th annual BFKS! Many people get involved and this is a great way to engage our Bigs and Littles; while supporting a community event. This event has approximately 425 people attend to support the program. 3.) The event is typically held the first weekend of May each year. It will take place on May 14th this year at Sun Mountain Fun Center. 4.) This activity (BFKS) will recruit community support to provide financial assistance to the number one mentoring program in the nation. Many individuals, business professionals and friends of the program rally to collect pledge money to benefit BBBSCO. This event allows our community to advocate and support BBBSCO; while raising funding to sustain and expand the program.
