We Bowled for Kids’ Sake

Somersby Park Rangers was recognized in Saturday’s Bowl for Kids’ Sake for the team that raised the most money.  Organizers quoted  “This group of people are steadfast supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters and we appreciate them so much.”  The total amount from our neighborhood reached $1,115 with funds coming in from many donors.  The Somersby Park logo was predominantly visible on the thank you sponsors board located inside Tarheel Lanes.

Here is coverage of the event:
