Bowl for kids' sake 2020 - POSTPONED
Join Us & Make a Brighter Future
Currently, Bowl for Kids' Sake 2020 has been postponed until later this year. With the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, many schools, offices, and large events have been impacted.
As of March 16th, the national government and the CDC limited group gatherings to 10 people. Our venue, Oak Bowl & Mario’s Pizza, has followed that direction and closed their doors for business to prevent the spread of the disease in our community. This situation is progressing rapidly, and we honor and respect these decisions. We are committed to doing our part to help protect our staff, attendees and fellow community members.
DON'T WORRY! We are taking it day-by-day to see how everything progresses and will work to establish our new plan for this event to take place later this year. More information will be presented in the coming weeks with additional details. Teams are still welcome to register online and fundraise for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County - the website won't be shut down. Stay safe and healthy everyone! We will see you soon!

About Us
Together We Are Defenders of Potential
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County provides peer mentorship by matching volunteers and youth in our community. These one to one relationships have proved to be a positive life impact on not only our youth but the volunteers who so graciously volunteer their time!
Big Brothers Big Sisters helps children realize their potential and build the foundation for a successful future. We nurture children and strengthen our communities.
How It Started
In 1999 we started as a grassroots organization with a vision to improve the lives of children in our community.
For two years prior to the opening of our agency, community and board members raised funds and began the strenuous task of meeting the national standards put forth by Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. It was tough work, but we were driven by our mission.
Since our beginning, we have strived to create matches and improve our programs for the betterment of our community.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.

This was not an easy decision to reach as summer is the primary purpose of our camp. With COVID-19 affecting our staff from around the world and the unknown that faces us in the upcoming months it seemed in the best interest of everyone to cancel. We will look forward with you toward a brighter tomorrow and an exciting summer program in 2021. We will be keeping our summer camper families in prayer over these next months as we know many of you will have been hit hard by the recent changes in work and economy. God bless you.
