Fundraisers
BBBS hosts four major fundraising events throughout the year. Gather your friends, family, neighbors, employees, or coworkers to participate in one of these fun gatherings. Individuals, companies, and organizations can all get involved!
- Bowl for Kids’ Sake: Bowl for Kids’ Sake is our largest annual fundraiser. Fundraising teams compete to collect donations and then celebrate their success by attending a bowling party in March.
- The BIG Event: The BIG Event is a yearly fundraising gala held in July. Both individual tickets and tables can be reserved for an evening of food, cocktails, auctions, and entertainment.
- Halloweenie Street Party: Every October, participants gather in downtown Fond du Lac in their best costume to shake their bones on Main Street. Included with every ticket purchase is access to numerous vendor samples, good tunes, fun games, and special prizes.
- Cookie Sale: BBBS coordinates a Cut-Out Cookie Sale between October and December each year. Support youth mentoring with your purchase of an assorted dozen of frozen, unfrosted holiday-shaped cookies.
Cars for Kids
Need to clean your garage of an unwanted car, truck, trailer, recreational vehicle, or other equipment? Donate it to BBBS! Badger State Auto Auction will pick up the vehicle anywhere in Fond du Lac and transport it to the auto auction site. All money received from the auction will be used to help BBBS create and support mentoring relationships—all we need is a signed and clear title along with the keys!
Call (920) 922-8200 or email amy.docter@bbbsfdl.org to schedule a pickup. BBBS will send a letter of donation when the vehicle is sold. You may deduct the entire amount of the sale on your taxes.
Adopt-A-Family
The holiday season is a busy time for BBBS when Adopt-A-Family is in full swing! Adopt-A-Family is an annual holiday assistance initiative where volunteers provide gifts to be put under the trees of Littles in our program. Donors can be businesses, organizations, service clubs, families, or individuals—anyone can participate! You decide how many children you’d like to shop for, and BBBS shares a list of needs, wants, and interests for each child.
Call (920) 922-8200 or email jennifer.smith@bbbsfdl.org to be added to our Adopt-A-Family contact list.
