Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dufferin and District is getting ready to roll out its largest annual fundraiser, with a Wild West–themed Wii bowling event designed to raise money for local youth mentorship programs.
“We are thrilled to invite the entire Shelburne community to join us for our annual Bowl for Kids Sake fundraiser. As an organization dedicated to serving the youth of Shelburne, this event is a fantastic opportunity to have fun while making a real difference in the lives of local children,” said Nancy Stallmach, executive director of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Dufferin and District.
“Every dollar raised helps us continue our vital mentoring programs and your participation shows the kids that you’re in their corner.”
Bowl for Kids’ Sake 2026 will take place on Friday, April 10, in the ballroom at the Best Western in Orangeville. Instead of traditional lanes, organizers have created a virtual bowling alley using Wii bowling. Guests are encouraged to come in costume, embracing cowboy hats, boots and creative Western-inspired outfits.
