Bowl For Kids' Sake (BFKS) raises funds critical to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program at Family Services of NW PA. The funds directly impact the children we serve by offering a professionally supported relationship between a caring adult and a child. We also provide monthly activities, school supplies, and more for the children in our program. Best of all, Big Brothers Big Sisters is provided at no cost to participants.

Thanks to the gracious support of our sponsors and supporters, we welcomed over 700 bowlers and raised nearly $104,000 at last year's event.

In 2019:

  • 156 youth received services
  • 52 new matches were made
  • 25 match events were provided
  • 98% of youth enrolled in the program improved or maintained academic performance
  • 95% of youth enrolled in the program were able to avoid delinquency
