Join Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel as they host their largest fundraiser of the year — Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake. Every dollar raised will go toward providing mentoring relationships to the 240 children and youth who are currently waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister. This year’s goal is to raise $180,000 through four different bowling events across Peel Region.
Kicking things off for the 2015 Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake is Honorary Chairperson, Peel Regional Police Chief Jennifer Evans.
“The children and youth in our community are our future,” Evans said. “By participating in Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake, you are helping to ensure that the youth in our community have the mentors they need to inspire and empower them make the right choices. Mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school and of having respect for family, peers and their community. There is no more important investment we as individuals can make than in helping the youth in our community to realize, and share, their full potential.”
“Together, we will be making a life changing difference the youth in our community,” she added.
