For more than 40 years, Bowl for Kids’ Sake has supported Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies throughout the country, serving as their premier fundraising “Thank You” party. After months of raising awareness and funds, our local agencies thank their volunteers with a Bowl for Kids’ Sake party at their local bowling center. This year, Bowl for Kids’ Sake will be held at Latitude 30, the premier bowling alley of Jacksonville. This year also is the first ever Midnight Bowl, intended to draw a younger crowd to participate. Midnight Bowl will help raise money to ensure the continuation of supportive adult mentoring into the lives of every child in Northeast Florida who would benefit from having a Big Brother or Big Sister. AAF-Jacksonville and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Florida are partnering up to make this possible.
The Challenge
Design a poster to make an impact. AAF-Jacksonville and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Florida have teamed up this year to promote their Bowl For Kids’ Sake: Midnight Bowl, a fundraiser for the continued mentoring of children within the Jacksonville community. This year Bowl for Kids’ Sake will be held at Latitude 30 and will also offer its first ever Midnight Bowl to draw a younger crowd to participate. To aid in Big Brothers Big Sisters’ efforts in making it a successful event, AAF-Jacksonville is lending a hand, and calling all designers — novice to pro — to design their Midnight Bowl poster for 2012.
