Bowl for Kids Sake 2006
Bowl for Kids Sake is an annual fund-raiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Birmingham. This terrific nonprofit organization pairs boys and girls in a seven-county area with adult role models. It’s been my privilege to serve on the Young Advisory Board since 2003.
Why am I involved? Because I hate apathy.
My team, Media of Birmingham, is raising money for the group, and you can help. I raised more than $400 with the help of generous friends and neighbors. This year, my goal is $1,000.
We’re spreading the word, raising funds and getting ready to bowl on May 13. While our scores may not be high, our spirits and ambitions are.
You can donate right now — it’s easy, and it’s tax-deductible.
- Paypal. (FYI: Your donation will be reduced slightly, because Paypal deducts 2.9 percent plus 30 cents for each transaction.)
- Mail a check to Bowl for Kids Sake, Box 13945, Birmingham, AL 35202-3941. Checks payable to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Birmingham.
Thank you for your support!
