   Little moments. Big magic.

 

our impact on children

Bigs and Littles have fun together — and create memories that last a lifetime. We call it “Little moments … Big magic.” Research points to the powerful, positive, lasting impact Bigs have on children’s lives. Littles are:

  • 52% less likely to skip school
  • 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
  • More likely to get along with their families and peers

Rock-a-Bowl for Kids' Sake 

 

After two days of bowling and fun, hundreds of bowlers raised $130,000 to support Heartland Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Funds raised from the event will be used to provide activities and professional support for existing matches while also matching some of the great kids on our ready-to-be-matched list.

Thanks to all of the donors, bowlers and event sponsors, hundreds of kids will have a Big Brother or Big Sister this year.

Special Thanks to all of our company bowlers and organizers at:

  • Union Bank and Trust who with 32 teams that raised over $15,000;
  • Russ's Market & Super Saver with 20 teams who raised $14,500;
  • State Farm Insurance with 23 teams that raised over $9,500;
  • GALLUP; 
  • Old Navy; and
  • A special thank you to our new-comers at JC Penney and Perot Systems!
