Bowl For Kids
Highland Lanes 8909 Burnet Rd., Austin, TX, United StatesYou can help change a child’s life. Join over 1,000 individuals and companies who raise money for BBBS and celebrate with a weekend of bowling, food, drinks, team photos, costumes, and killer door prizes.
This two-day, themed bowling event provides the funding needed to bring caring, adult mentors to more children who need them. At any given time, up to 200 children (or more) are waiting to be matched with Big Brothers or Big Sisters of their own. Bowl for Kids helps move these children off the waiting list and gets them matched with the Bigs that they deserve!
