FORT WAYNE â Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana on Sunday introduced a new downtown Parkiew Field event as part of its Bowl For Kids Sake Fundraiser.
During a media announcement on the ballpark suite level, Chief Executive Officer Josette Rider announced a June 19 event that will work in conjunction with Bowl For Kids Sake activities at local alleys which are limited to 50% capacity because of the pandemic.
Started in 1980 as the annual Big Brothers Big Sisters kickoff fundraiser, Bowl For Kids Sake was canceled last March because of the Coronavirus pandemic.
âThis idea extends from the new normal,â Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana Director of Development Shelley Schwab said. âSome people are comfortable being indoors with others, and some are not yet, so this is an alternative concept we have on how to make this event happen.â
