Photo by Mark Reesor. Whitby Free Press $30.9OOO is target of Bowl for Millions By Lucie Rochette The 20th annual Bowl for Millions for Oshawa-Whitby will be held Saturday, March 20 at North End Bowl in Oshawa. 'Bowl for Millions' is a national event held every year by Big Brothers associations across Canada. Funds maiser1 help pay association operating costs. At last year's 'J3owl' in Oshawa, $24,000 was raised, not quite as much as hoped for by the Oshawa-Whitby association. This year "We are certainly hoping to get more than that," says Jane McCarthy, member of the local association's board of directors and Bowl committee member. The goal this year is $30,000, and McCarthy is confident that target can be reached. Last year, about 350 people participated in the event. This year, McCarthy says that they've sent out approxi- mately 600 pldge sheets. 'Bowl for Millions' is "extremely important for fundraising,» says McCarthy. About 60 per cent of Bi Brothers funding cornes frorn the Unitd Wa. Bu 0Unite cutbacks, due to a shortfall in the recent carnpaig-,n, have resulted in decreased funding to the association. Big Brothers have other means of raising money, such as sellin g lotter" tickets, holding raffles and car washes. McCarthý says there will be a lot of corporate participation, as well ap participation by doctors, lawyers and schools, in the 'Bowl'. "Absolutely anyone can par-ticipate,» she says. Sorne players f romn the Oshawa Generals junior A hockey team may be at the 'Bowl,' depending on their schedule. The Generals would be bowling with some of the Little Brothers. There are curirently about 80 Big Brothers in the area, but 24 Little Brothers are on a waiting list for a match with Big Brothers. McCarthy says tlîat often, due to unfortunate family situations, young boys rnay be in need of a positive mnaIe influence. McCarthy says that the 'Bowl for Millions' is "«an excellent fundraiser, an excellent way to increase the profile of Big Brothers ini the cornmunity." liq aieâo fwQ wow, WS~ -3 Fr"y et, so-m a STORYTELLING The Durham Folklore Society will meet on Thursday, March 25, 7:30 p.m., at the Micheal Starr Building, Oshawa.
