Northfield – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Atlantic & Cape May Counties has some big news! After thirty years, they have come to the decision to switch out their bowling shoes for walking shoes.
The agency feels that they’ve made some wonderful Bowl for Kids’ Sake memories over the years, but are looking forward to the new adventures ahead. As such, they are excited to announce their first annual Wild Walk for Kids fundraising event, which will be held on Saturday, April 5, 2014, at the Cape May County Park and Zoo.
Hundreds of Big Brothers Big Sisters supporters will join the agency for a two mile walk around the zoo grounds followed by lunch, music, and activities for the whole family.

About Big Brothers Big Sisters:
For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.

The organization holds itself accountable for children in the program to achieve measurable outcomes, such as higher aspirations; greater confidence and better relationships; educational success; and avoidance of delinquency and other risky behaviors.

Located locally in Northfield, the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Atlantic & Cape May Counties agency is part of a network of 340 agencies across the country. Big Brothers Big Sisters serves nearly 630,000 children, volunteer mentors and families nationwide.
