Bowling for Kids Sake

As we assimilate into our local community we decided to hook up with Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Cedar Rapids to help raise funds for the children in our community.  I am donating my athletic prowess (dripping with sarcasm) for an afternoon of bowling with fellow teammates to raise funds.  Overall the Bowl for Kids Sake hopes to raise in excess of $350,000 this year.  My team, Split Happens, hopes to be just a small part of this important goal.  To date I have been ferociously practicing on the Wii where interestingly enough I am the proud record holder of most splits in a game with 11.  (I picked up the split spare in the tenth frame only to bowl the "extra" ball into yet another split.  It's a talent people).


SteeeeRIKE!



Since my network of Iowans is small I have set my personal goal to raise $250.  I hope to exceed that goal or even double it but I since I haven't participated before I didn't really know where to begin.  I am confident I can roll better than a 125 and will not embarrass myself, for my own kids sake.  If you are interested in donating or simply monitoring me or my team's progress you can visit my personal web page here.  The page provides an honor roll of donors, a place to make a donation online or a form to print out if you wish to donate in another manner.  It costs $1,000 a year to match one little boy or girl with a big brother or sister and it provides children with important role models.  I hope the event and cause interests you or if you just think watching me attempt a "strike pose" is hilarious feel free to kick in a few bucks.  All donations make a difference!  Thanks in advance for your moral support!  The event takes place February 15th so please visit our page before then.  I now leave you with a picture of me practicing.  Clearly, you would be backing a winner!

As we move through the fundraising process I'll send out periodic updates.  And if you want a piece of me on the Wii while I continue to practice let me know and I'll find you online.  I'll see you at ten pin alley. And yes that's my dog's booty, or as I like to call him, Coach, in the picture.
