For Kids’ Sake is Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters’ signature mentor recruitment and fundraising campaign, and a tradition that has changed lives for decades. As one of the longest-running fundraisers in the state, it plays a vital role in supporting the organization’s annual operating budget.
Each year, nearly 1,500 community members across Kansas step up to raise funds and champion mentoring in their own neighborhoods. In Sedgwick County, For Kids’ Sake has been making an impact for almost 40 years, and it remains our largest source of funding—powering the support of current Big and Little matches and helping connect youth who are still waiting for a mentor.
Best of all, every dollar raised through For Kids’ Sake stays right here in Sedgwick County, directly funding the cost to carefully match and professionally support Big and Little mentoring relationships for an entire year.
When considering participation in FKS, please remember that your support can come in different forms and will go a long way to help our youth facing adversity!
As a Company: Get your Game On for Good!
Form For Kids’ Sake Teams: Rally your employees for a fun, meaningful team-building experience. Create one or more teams of up to six people, raise funds together, and directly support local Big & Little mentoring matches. As our thank-you, your team will enjoy our signature bowling celebration—two hours of bowling, food, prizes, and plenty of fun!
Sponsor or Make a Corporate Gift: Make a direct impact on youth served by KSBBBS through a corporate sponsorship or general donation. Sponsorship opportunities offer visibility, recognition, and a powerful way to invest in your community.
Host an Info Session: Invite our team to share more about Big Brothers Big Sisters at a company or department meeting. We’re always looking for new mentors for youth on our waitlist, and these no-obligation info sessions are a great way to learn more. Bonus: we bring the treats!
As an Individual: Have fun. Make a difference!
Make a Donation or Join a Team: Give on your own or grab five friends and form a team of six. Raise funds, earn a free event t-shirt, and celebrate your impact at our fun-filled bowling party.
