Kids 'n Kinship hosted our 15th Annual Bowlathon at Cedarvale Lanes on Sunday April 27th!  We had 80 mentors, mentees, waiting children and their families at the event who brought in pledges, bowled, & bought raffle tickets.  We also had a record-breaking 79 community bowlers who bowled in the second session that day from AAA, Applebees Burnsville, Elder Jones, Keller Williams, PBBS, Superior Service Center, Eagan High School, and Lakeville South High School.  9 volunteers from Wings Financial volunteered with us that day and helped make it a fun and successful event!  We are SO thankful for all of our sponsors and in kind donors!  Through sponsorships, pledges, and the sale of raffle tickets, Kids 'n Kinship raised $6,725!
