Big Brothers Big Sisters bowling event will strike gold
Happy New Year everyone!
2012 is here and that means the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake
campaign is just around the corner.
Hot off the heels of our Regional Media Launch, the whole team is
stepping up to the plate to make this the biggest and best campaign
yet. Our agencies goal this year is to raise $130,000 through 250
bowling teams over three days. It’s quite the feat, but with
perserverance, we can get there!
As always, our Title Sponsor Tim Hortons have supported us every
step of the way. We also appreciate the coverage our media sponsors
Sun Media and TVCogeco have kindly donated. Bowling wouldn’t bepossible without our friend Angelo at the Parkway Lanes in
St.Catharines, and support from CIBC will go a long way in
helping the over 1,300 children and at-risk youth we assist through
mentorship in our community.
If you would like to take part and put in a team for our 2012 Tim
Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake campaign, our Fund Development team
are wang to hear from you! Call the office and book your lane;
spaces are filling fast!
Have a wonderful 2012, and see you at the lanes!

To our donors...A huge thank you to all of you for your monetary,
gi and me donaons this holiday season. Without
them, many children in our community would not
be able to celebrate Christmas. We appreciate
your generosity and know that even the smallest gi
can change the life of a child in need.

In October, Brock University’s JDC Central group
did a Halloween themed danceathon at ThePen Centre and raised over $900! Thanks guys!

We are thrilled that the Penguin Producons
team were once again able to stay at the office
and raise money by playing through all the Zelda

raised $5350 for our programs!
That means the total money raised so far
through their efforts is over $20,000!

you to Gina Gallo for organizing it and for everyone
