People have until March 31 to donate to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, said Kaulana Finn, regional director of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kauai.
“We are so blessed,” Finn said. “The generosity and aloha from the people of Kauai has our fundraising to nearly $20,000 of our $25,000 goal.”
More than 200 people came to “La Fiesta Bowl,” the fifth annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake Saturday night at Kauai Bowl.
“We concentrated the fun by combining the younger bowlers with the adults for one big event,” said Dennis Brown, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters who came for the event.
Proceeds from the fun-filled event support the organization’s youth mentoring programs on Kauai, some of the Littles and Bigs doing the honor of presenting lei to special guests Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr., Capt. Bruce Hay, commander of the Pacific Missile Range Facility, and Wanda Kau-Shibata, the governor’s Kauai liaison.
During the event, participants raise funds online or turned in pledges, collecting incentive prizes for their efforts.
Finn said people can still contribute by visiting www.kauaibowl.kintera.org.
Major sponsors include Mark’s Place and Contemporary Flavors Catering, the Grove Farm Co., Kauai Community Federal Credit Union, Koa Trading, Earthworks Pacific, King Auto Center, Napa Auto PS&D and more.
