What is Summer Bowl?  It's not about the bowling...it's about the kids.

Summer Bowl For Kids’ Sake is Big Brothers Big Sisters’ largest annual fundraiser.  The event brings almost 400 people to a major bowling party at the UCM Cosmo Bowl in Warrensburg. 

What do you do?

You simply form a bowling team of six people.  Designate a team captain to take care of all the leg-work for your team.  Select and time for your team to bowl.  Next, you and your teammates will collect bowling pledges from your friends, co-workers and family members.  Lastly, you show up on your designated bowling time to enjoy free bowling, pizza, soda and prizes.

Attention Team Captains:

If you've been designated your team's captain there is just a few things we need from you.

• First, let us know you are going to be a team captain.   Click here to sign up online or you can call us at 660.429.1991 or e-mail bbbsjc@iland.net.
• Next, if make a team webpage that will help you solicit team members and collect online sponsors.   Click here to get started in building your team webpage. Remember teams who build personalized Web pages raise more money.  For the individual that riases the most money on-line by July 29th will get a free $100 gift card to Target.
• Now, start asking your friends and co-workers to be on your bowling team.  Use your Web page to send e-mails asking for support or just start asking everyone you know.  (Teams usually consist of six team members.  However, if you get more than six you can have multiple teams.  We will assign your bowling lanes next to each other.  Just make sure to let us know that you have multiple teams.)
• Now that you've started getting team members it's time to pick up your team's packet. Stop by our office at 608 North College in Warrensburg to pick up a packet or give us a call at 660.429.1991 to get one to you.
