We need your help!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Nashua is hosting our 27th Annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake Fundraising Campaign from March through June at Merrimack Ten Pin.
Bowl for Kids’ Sake is the largest community-wide fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Nashua. It is a campaign to raise funds and awareness in support of matching children with volunteer mentors through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. The campaign is comprised of several bowling events, bringing individuals and organizations together to have fun while also securing needed pledges of support.
Participating in this fundraising event has never been more important for the children in our program. While the number of mentoring matches between volunteers and children continues to grow, so does the number of children referred to our program. Last year we served 369 children with a Big Brother or Big Sister in 16 Communities (Amherst, Atkinson, Brookline, Derry, Hollis, Hudson, Litchfield, Londonderry, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon, Nashua, Plaistow, Salem, Wilton, and Windham).
How does it make a difference for children in Greater Nashua?
Compared to their peers, Little Brothers and Sisters are:
· 46% less likely to initiate drug use
· 27% less likely to start drinking alcohol
· 55% less likely to skip school
It’s not about bowling! It’s about having fun to help kids.
The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Nashua is to make a positive difference in the lives of children primarily from single parent families. Our mission is accomplished by a professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationship between a caring, committed volunteer and a child who is in need of a positive role model, and a friend in his or her life.
Thank you for helping us make a difference, one child at a time!
