3/19/13 - A local social service agency says theyâll have to look at new ways to raise money after their annual fundraiser fell short of expectations. This yearâs Bowl For Kids Sake was held earlier this month to benefit Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Livingston County. Executive Director Shari Davis-Schoech tells WHMI that the gross income from the three-day bowling event was just shy of $51,000. Combined with the nearly $5,000 raised through a new on-line donation option and $1,500 in team grant donations, the total is expected to be approximately $57,300. However, thatâs more than $10,000 less than was raised last year. Davis-Schoech says the Board of Directors for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Livingston County is currently exploring other fundraising options to make up the loss in revenue to insure they are able to provide the same mentoring programs as last year.
