The Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids’ Sake is one of five annual  fundraisers for the Ellis County chapter.

Teams are bowling Thursday at Hays’ Centennial Lanes, starting at noon for those on their lunch hour.

Bowling resumes at 5:30 in the evening when Littles often join their Bigs.  They know best what it means to be matched, and that’s how the money is used.  BBBS Program Manager Jenny Bates says each match and the related paperwork processing costs about $1,000.

There are currently about 150 matches.   About about 40 more Littles are waiting to be matched with a Big, , says Bates,  hoping for that caring adult volunteer who takes a special interest in the child’s life.
