Bowl for Kids Sake 2018
Event Details
On Saturday April 21st bowlers and spectators alike from all over the Black Hills gathered at Robbinsdale Lanes in Rapid City to Bowl for Kids’ Sake. Our teams were ready to show off their bowling skills and boast about how much they raised. The bowling scores weren’t great, but the fundraising was impressive. We have raised a lot of money over the past 20 plus years of being a corporate sponsor for Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. It is great to see everyone’s enthusiasm and excitement, I grateful for everyone’s participation and outstanding pledge totals.
Spearfish Common Cents received top honors this year with the largest pledge total of $3062, way to go Spearfish! Belle Fourche maintained their 2nd place standing for yet another year raising $2789. The MPC office team came in 3rd raising $2660, followed by Lead at $2221. Lacrosse and Hwy 44 Common Cents each raised over $1800 with Rushmore Rd and North Street raising over $1500.
