Thank You!
 As Bowl for Kids' Sake 2014 winds down, we'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the many teams, sponsors, partners, donors, volunteers, and friends that participated and offered their support!
You took the time to start something Big, and thanks to you we are able to continue to provide programs that positively impact the lives of children in our communities.
Whether it's in the form of time or money there is no more important investment we as individuals can make than in helping our nation's children realize - and share - their full potential.
Thank you! We couldn't do it without you!

Some Questions for Dad
A few days ago I was play wrestling with my three year old son on the floor when he very suddenly shoved his finger into my eye socket. He poked it really hard with a great big smile on his face. I had to leave the room and go and bite a pillow, and give myself a few seconds to cool down. I admit, I was pretty ticked. We were having fun, why did he have to go and stick his finger in my eye? I didn't realize it at the time, but what he was really doing was looking for some answers.
