Bowl for Kids' Sake - Lawn Bowling 2023

<div>Here at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colchester, we provide no-cost mentoring programs that strive to reach young people who face adversity and are in need of an additional supportive relationship. Mentors are professionally trained and supported to ignite the unique power and potential of each mentee. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides every match with access to a professional mentoring coordinator who provides support to the mentee, mentor and their family. </div><div>In addition to offering mentoring programs, we have Fundy Scoops and the newly opened Fundy Scoops Too that provides employment opportunities for local youth, including those involved in our mentorship programs. This social enterprise helps develop transferable skills these young people can take with them to other opportunities in the community and into their future careers. New last fall was our Job Readiness Program. This exciting ten-part training program prepares youth for the expectations of the work force. We had 15 youth participate in 2022, we are hoping to be able to expand this program for the fall of 2023. </div><div>On September 23rd, 2023 we are having a Bowl for Kids’ Sake – Lawn Bowl Fundraiser hosted by Cobequid Lawn Bowling Club. The funds raised will allow us to continue to provide the children and youth of Colchester with the impactful, volunteer-based mentoring programs that will ensure they reach their full potential. Currently, we have 146 matches in our program and 73 children and youth waiting for a match. <div><div><p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%">EVENT SCHEDULE:<p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%"> coming soon!<p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;vertical-align:middle;max-width:100%">STARTING AT 1:00 P.M. <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%">HOW TO CREATE YOUR TEAM OR INDIVIDUAL FUNDRAISING PAGE<p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%">STEP 1 - Start your team or individual fundraising page by clicking on the FUNDRAISE button and set your goal.

Once you complete the online sign-up, you will receive a confirmation e-mail to personalize your team &amp; individual fundraising page. This is an important step! Add a photo, update the text and make your page your own by customizing your description, sharing how long you have been involved with BBBS, or why you’re supporting this campaign. If you are a team captain and want to have individual fundraising pages, team members can JOIN YOUR TEAM and create and customize their own page. This is needed if individuals want a personal fundraising link to send out and share. If you are going to fundraise just as a team, then you may not need personal pages.<p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:12.05pt;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%">STEP 3 - Share your fundraising page with your network and ask them to contribute. Send your team or individual fundraising link in an email, text, or post on your social media, and ask others to support you in your fundraising. Be sure to TEST THE LINK FIRST. You want to make sure you send the right link so always start with sending the link to yourself in an email or text and then click to make sure it works! Be sure to send out reminders to your potential supporters so they don’t forget to help you out.<p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:normal;max-width:100%">See here for more information about setting up your fundraising campaign on Zeffy: <a href="https://home.simplyk.io/blog/peer-to-peer-fundraising-campaign-in-6-steps?__hstc=251809558.80a2dec873c5d28f73f322f9763f9352.1669321467037.1678815807904.1678821327257.174&amp;__hssc=251809558.1.1678821327257&amp;__hsfp=1022163503">https://home.simplyk.io/blog/peer-to-peer-fundraising-campaign-in-6-steps</a></div></div><div><div> </div></div></div>
