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

Bowl for Kids' Sake is about having fun to help kids continue on a positive path. It is Big Brothers Big Sisters’ largest national fundraiser, raising over $20 million annually for children in need across the country. By supporting Bowl for Kids’ Sake, you help our BIG dream of transforming Northeast Florida through a “mentoring movement” that brings a caring, supportive adult mentor into the life of every child who would benefit from having a Big Brother Big Sister.  Why Get Involved: We believe that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. Most children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters live in single-parent and low-income families or households where a parent is incarcerated. Mentoring is a proven strategy that changes the way our children grow up by building attitudes and behaviors needed to stay in school, succeeding academically and creating promising futures. As we continue to impact more children in a positive and focused manner, we will improve schools, neighborhoods and our entire community.  Register for BFKS 2011
