GRAB A BALL AND BOWL
Rebecca excitedly asked me this morning if I’d be willing to bowl for a good cause. Truth be told, I’d be willing to bowl for just about anything, but bowling for Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver sounds like an even better idea.
Mentoring programs help kids reach their full potential by heightening self esteem and enabling them to make healthy decisions.
Studies indicate kids with mentors perform better academically, display improved personal relationships and are less inclined to use drugs and alcohol as teens.
Together with a few other bloggers (myself included), Rebecca has formed ‘Team Blogger’ in the 2008 Bowl For Big Brothers Classic. The idea of getting together with good friends to throw the balls around for a good cause is something I can most definitely get on board for.
On a dreary weekend in March, we’ll be hitting the lanes at either the Commodore in downtown Vancouver or grabbing a skytrain to Xcalibur in Surrey (I think – we’ll confirm at a later date). There are two ways you can be a part of the festivities:
1) Join ‘Team Blogger’ on the lanes! We still have five spots open but I am quite sure they’ll fill up fast! Click here to join the team – just search for ‘Team Blogger’ or ‘Rebecca Bollwitt.’
2) Donate! That’s the entire point of this bowl-o-rama, so click here to securely sponsor me online or e-mail me directly (keira at keira-anne dot com) if you’d prefer to make a direct cash donation.
Why donate?
Proceeds from The Bowl for Big Brothers Classic support Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver’s quality mentoring programs by funding volunteer screening, training and monitoring of friendships as well as fun activities for Bigs and Littles.
P.S. Becky, are you sure I can’t bowl in my bikini?

I don’t think anyone would complain if you did.
yeah i was honestly trying to think of a way to at LEAST wear my whites shorts…the ones in the tequila honeymoon shots and the pole dancing shots… are bikini’s banned? i think we’d all likely be able to raise more money if we said we WOULD bowl in our bikinis. we will need some of that stuff those pageant girls use to keep the bottoms out of our cracks.
ps. i will as always be the last to get my post up but expect it before march
ps. adam just said if he were on the team he’d be wearing his bright red underwear and his cons.
I’ll take suggestions on what to wear
