Big Brothers of Vancouver helps boys aged 7 – 14 who have limited to no contact with their fathers and are, as a result, considered at-risk to not reach their full potential. Matching them with positive adult male role models, the charity sees compelling impacts on boys who develop more confidence, perform better academically and are less likely to succumb to peer pressure. One in four local children is raised without an active father.
The Scotiabank Bowl for Big Brothers Classic will take over bowling centres across the Lower Mainland March through April 2014. Over 2,500 event participants and 250 teams will raise pledges in support of Big Brothers mentoring programs for at-risk children and celebrate with an exciting evening of bowling and activities.
