Get bowled over at Big Brothers fundraising event

There’s still time to rack up strikes and spares while raising money for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area.

The 19th annual Bowl for Kids fundraising event is slated to continue at Chinook Bowladrome and Fairview Bowling and Billiards until April 17.

“Traditionally this is the largest fundraising event for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Calgary and Area,” said event organizer Jeremy Gocal. “The money goes directly to the organization, so it’s funding all the programs that they do.”

After raising $270,000 last year, organizers hope to bring in $300,000 this year.

The Calgary Stampeders will take part in Friday’s event at Chinook while the Calgary Roughnecks are slated to help out next Tuesday.
