You can help raise money for youth programs and enjoy some bowling at the same time at the 15th annual Bowl For Kids' Sake, presented by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Honolulu from 9 a.m. to midnight on Aug. 11 at Aiea Bowl.

Dennis Brown, president and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Honolulu, said that while the main purpose of the event is to raise money for the agency's youth programs, "it is also an activity for people to get involved and to have fun," he said.

Participants must collect pledges; minimum pledges are $60 for adult bowlers and $30 for children 16 and younger. Individuals and teams of five can select from five three-hour shifts: 9 a.m. to noon, noon to 3 p.m., 3 to 6 p.m., 6 to 9 p.m. and 9 p.m. to midnight.

Highlights of the event include live entertainment, prize giveaways, food and refreshments. Bowlers will also receive a souvenir Bowl For Kids' Sake t-shirt. Bowling experience isn't necessary.

Deadline for registration is next Sunday. For information or to register, visit www.bigshonolulu.org or call 521-3811.
