Minto-Mapleton first up at Bowl for Kids

The North Wellington Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake campaign is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Organizers say its the community support that makes the event a success.

“Some of you bowl, others sponsor a bowler, while others yet choose to give a corporate donation or take advantage of our lane sponsorship opportunity. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or a brand new team we are delighted to have you join us,” organizers state.

This year’s theme is “Superheroes” and participants are urged to dress in their favourite superhero attire.

“Our goal is to raise $60,000 this year and we know, with your support, we can do it. Each year we are overwhelmed by our community’s generosity,” states coordinator Terri Dykeman.

Kickoff on Feb. 21

The 2016 campaign kickoff is on Feb. 21 at 10:30am at the Mount Forest Bowling Centre with the Minto-Mapleton community bowling at 11am. Mount Forest and area is up on Feb. 28 and Arthur/Alma communities bowl on March 6.

To register or make a donation call 519-323-4273 or email teri.dykeman@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca for more information.
