The Bowl For Kids Sake County event held Sat. Feb. 25 at Empire Lanes in Ruthven was very successful, raising $10,645 to support Big Brothers Big Sisters Windsor Essex’s youth mentoring programs and services. This is a record fundraising year for this event so far, and the organization is grateful for the support from participants and the community. The Windsor portion of Bowl For Kids Sake takes place this weekend. Locally, there were 110 people – 27 teams – who participated in the event, which included 3 teams from the Municipality of Leamington and a team from the Town of Kingsville. Leamington Mayor John Paterson and Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos each headed up a team in a friendly two-game “grudge match” between the neighbouring municipalities. Mayor Santos’ team defeated Leamington in both games. Leamington Councillors Hilda MacDonald, Larry Verbeke and John Jacobs also took part in the bowlathon. As Windsor Essex’s leading child and youth mentoring charity, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes a difference in the community by providing 300 area children in need with oneto-one mentoring services that are proven to help kids stay in school, avoid risky behavior such as bullying, and grow up to be more civic-minded adults. Each time a child is paired with a mentor or a group of children is introduced to the group programs, something incredible begins – a lifechanging relationship built on friendship, trust and empowerment.
