SSW Teams for Bowl for Kids Sake

We hope the new semester is finding everyone in good spirits. The School of Social Work is sponsoring the Bowl for Kids Sake in February which benefits Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bloomington and asks you to participate in the experience. Our donations will help Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) who works to secure lasting mentoring relationships for all children who need and want them. This contributes to brighter futures, better schools, and stronger communities. The BBBS mission is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships with measurable impact.

We can help this cause and have decided to do so by generating some friendly competition in fundraising between a Junior and Senior Team!

Understanding that we are all busy as students, we ask you go to the website below created for us. Our Group name is: Social Work Student Association. Then you pick either junior or senior for the team name.

This link is where you chose to join the Junior or Senior team and can begin getting donations directly online. Once a member of the team, you can use an email template already created to send emails quickly to friends and families asking for donations to help improve the lives and future of children in our community!

Please be sure to mark your calendars for celebration and thanks for our fundraising!
