frequently asked questions

  • For Kids' Sake is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana's annual peer-to-peer FUN-draising campaign. It is an easy way for individuals, groups, and companies to raise money to support our one-to-one mentorship matches. Individuals can be a fundraiser, host their own For Kids' Sake Bowl, or host another type of event (trivia and axe-throwing are two examples).

    Some supporters choose to raise money via their For Kids' Sake page, Facebook, or door-to-door fundraising. Some people get a small group of friends together to go bowling. Affinity groups have hosted their own fundraising challenge, or if you are a company interested in doing a fundraising challenge for employee engagement, it is a great opportunity for team building — all for a great cause!

    It takes a small amount of effort, yet it raises vital money for the success of our services. This is an easy way for you to make an impact on our community!
