Bowl or Bocce Ball for Kids’ Sake 2026

Bowl and Bocce (BOT-chee) for Kids’ Sake is Big Brothers Big Sisters’ signature fundraising campaign that takes place annually and has been around for more than 45 years! An exciting and fun event for teams of families, co-workers, and friends. We need people like YOU who believe in supporting programs that create strong developmental relationships for kids in our community! BBBS connects over 300 youth annually with carefully selected mentors and nurtures these friendships to ensure youth build social-emotional skills, improve mental health and well-being, and increase educational and community engagement! We’re rolling to support mentoring for young people in our service area which includes Saint John, Kings, and Charlotte Counties!

This event is a chance to help BBBS continue to offer and build upon our existing mentoring programs and create new ways of connecting more youth in developmental relationships with mentors and it’s an opportunity for your company, team, or group to participate in a fun team-building activity for a good cause. It’s a great morale booster!

All of the funds raised directly support Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mentoring programs in your community!
