THANK YOU FOR IGNITING POTENTIAL FOR ISLAND YOUTH!

We couldn’t hold Bowl for Kids Sake safely this year, but we didn’t want to lose the things we love – community spirit, chance to have fun together….and of course fundraising for a great cause!   It’s been a tough year, so we wanted to focus on doing something positive this winter.

For 3 weeks in March, 2 Individual Fundraisers, 27 Work and 9 Family & Friends teams came together to have fun and fundraise.  With the help of our sponsors and other supporters, they raised $53,585!

In addition to fundraising, teams were asked to do 21 themed challenges which promoted Mental Health & Well-Being, Life-Long Learning, and Community Involvement – the 3 Big Outcomes of our mentoring programs.  In total, teams completed 420 challenges!

WEEKLY THEMES

March 8th – 14th: An Apple a Day – Mental Health and Well-Being Challenges

March 15th – 21st: March Forth – Trying New Things Challenges

March 22nd – 28th: Bigger Together – Making a Difference Challenges

These challenges were designed to be done at any time.  If your work or family is looking for some fun, meaningful & team-oriented activities, check out the Work Challenge and Family & Friends Challenge list and choose some for yourself!
