Events – Big Brothers Big Sisters Of Metropolitan Chicago

Featured Event: Spare a Night Out

Spare a Night Out is our spin on Bowl for Kids’ Sake – Big Brothers Big Sisters’ signature fundraiser event with over half a million participants across the nation each year. This is a “friendraiser" style event where teams raise money on behalf of BBBS and then celebrate their success together at a bowling party. BBBSMC’s bowling events raised over $250,000 last year!

The event runs from Wednesday May 6 - Friday May 8 and there are three sessions for teams to choose from. Participation is open to anyone and the event will be attended by many of our supporters and their friends and family, as well as Big Brothers and Big Sisters from our programs, members of our board and BBBSMC staff.

Signups open soon. If you would like to be notified as soon as signups are open, please subscribe to our newsletter.
