"I have always enjoyed helping out in the community whenever I can. A co-worker approached me about Bowl for Kid Sake and it sounded like fun. Bowling was a blast and it was great to get out there and have fun with friends. I raised money because I realized how important this organization really is and the impact it has on our future. I would definitely recommend everyone to participate to keep this organization strong."

Other ways to help

Recruit Men

We have more young boys than girls on our waiting list asking for a responsible man to be part of their lives. The commitment is small, the rewards are huge - if you know a man who would make a great Big Brother, tell him it's his turn to give back! If you belong to a church, business, or community organization filled with responsible men, speak to them on our behalf. The more men volunteer, the faster we can give kids on our waiting list a chance. If you'd like to have someone come out and give a presentation to your organization, just give us a call at 812-425-6076 or add a link here?

Recruit Girls

We get lots of women who apply to be Big Sisters, unfortunately, little girls don't get enrolled in our programs as often as little boys. People assume that girls don't need the same kind of care, attention, and friendship that boys do. Of course, this isn't true. Girls - no matter how good their mothers - are also at risk of dropping out of school, doing drugs, or getting in trouble. Each young woman should have as many good influences in her life as we can give her - and having a Big Sister can make a tremendous difference. If you know a girl or young woman who needs another good influence, talk to her or her parents about getting a Big Sister.
