of the Black Hills During Bowl for Kids Sake

Common Cents was again a major sponsor for the Black Hills Area Big Brothers and Big Sisters annual Bowl For Once again the happening place on April 23rd was at Meadowood bowling alley for The Annual Bowl for Kids Sake, which benefits Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the Black Hills. The entire Team at Common Cents came through once again collecting pledges totaling $16,000. It was great to have everyone participating and I was impressed with the outstanding pledge totals.

LaCrosse will retain the honors with the largest pledge total of $2846. Nikki Baer raised $1129 and Abby Bridges raised $1000 as the top two individual.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in the United States. They have been the leader in one-to-one youth service for more than a century, developing positive relationships that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young people. Big Brothers Big Sisters mentors children, ages 6 through 18, in communities across the country - including yours.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Mission is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships with mentors that have a measurable impact on youth.

It isn't easy being a kid these days. In these complex and confusing times, children need a caring adult to be a mentor and a friend - someone they can talk to, have fun with, and learn from.

Thanks to all of you, we can help make a difference.
