SEE which team raised the most online pledges at our Firstgiving Web site.
 Bowl For Kids' Sake 2008: Superhero Bowl celebrates the 25th anniversary of North Coast Big Brothers Big Sisters' biggest fundraiser. Every year over 300 teams from local businesses, school groups, church groups and friends, collect pledges from friends, co-workers and neighbors, raising most of our annual operating costs. Each team's reward for collecting pledges is a round of bowling and Superhero themed fun (including prizes!) at Harbor Lanes bowling alley in Eureka.
Over 3200 children in Humboldt County have benefitted from having a mentor through North Coast Big Brothers Big Sisters since 1969. Bowl For Kids' Sake teams make mentoring happen. And they have a lot of fun! We look forward to seeing all our old friends again next year and making some new ones.
