Back to Where It All Began: Bowl for Kids’ Sake Turns 50 & We’re looking for Team Captains!
This year, we’re rolling it back—way back—as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bowl for Kids’ Sake! From the disco days of the 70s, to the neon glow of the 80s, to the grunge and pop of the 90s, this event has been bringing people together for decades to change kids’ lives. Now, we’re rebooting the fun and inviting you to be part of the legacy—whether you bowled with us years ago or you’re brand new to the party. We’re going all in on nostalgia with a 70s, 80s, and 90s theme across three days and three locations.
