Did you ever wonder who benefits from our annual Bowl For Kids’ Sake? That’s easy to answer…just look at our April 2022 Match of the Month. Little Sister Anjella and Big Sister Josie have the honor of being our longest running match for our SMART program at Conrad Weiser School District.

Meet Little Alaina, our March 2022 Little of the Month! Little Alaina is a 15-year-old in Reading who wants to be a lawyer when she grows up. She would benefit greatly from having a positive, out-going role model in her life to stand with her to defend her potential.

Seeking all of your superhero teams out there! The 40th Annual Bowl For Kids’ Sake — sponsored by Tompkins VIST Bank — is on the horizon, and we need YOU to join us with your super friends, family, co-workers, colleagues, etc.

With just one month left until the 40th Annual Bowl For Kids’ Sake, things are shaping up — but there is plenty to do yet AND plenty of room for you to get your BFKS team together!
