EVERETT, WA May 5, 2008 -- Nearly 400 members of a caring
community came to Glacier Lanes to support the youth mentoring
programs of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) the weekend
of May 3 & 4. Everyone there knew why they were there,
and shook the walls with a loud, "Bowl For Kids Sake"!
These
citizens supported children with over $40,000 raised over
the weekend, and several companies are matching funds, and
yet to be collected. Kids hoping for a Big are crossing
their fingers that as much as $45,000 comes in.
New
faces helped make this a success for local children. New
BFKSers are:
Boston’s
Restaurants from Mill Creek,
BECU from Marysville,
Alpine Mortgage,
North County Bank,
Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department, and
The Lynnwood Keg.
Boeing
employees, a genuine "rock" throughout the years
of BFKS, had 31 teams and raised over $19,000 – breaking
all records for the last four years!
The
Everett Clinic employees fielded five more teams this
year than last with 15 teams, and raised over $7,700.
Cascade
Bank employees answered the call with two more teams
than last year. 9 teams raised $5,189
Employees,
friends and families of the following participated this
