Bowling for Kids' Sake

Today was the biggest fundraiser of the year for Big Brothers Big Sisters; Bowl for Kids' Sake. My Match Support Specialist Chris Keller asked me earlier this week if Jamel and I would come and bowl the first balls to kick off the Saturday afternoon round. I was honored that he asked us and when I mentioned it to Jamel he got really excited.

Once we bowled the first balls we started our game, and a few minutes later a bunch of Mizzou football players showed up and started bowling with us. What a surprise that was! They couldn't have been nicer and we had a great time hanging out with them. Jaron Baston even spent time giving Jamel some pointers on how to bowl.

When we were finished they took some pictures with us and even autographed our t-shirts. They also invited me and Jamel to come join them at the Spring Black & Gold Football game next month. During the event they bring the little brothers down on the field and run them through some drills. Jamel is excited about going to that.

Thanks to Big Brothers Big Sisters and Chris Keller for putting on a great event and for inviting me and Jamel to take part. Thanks also to the Mizzou Tigers Football Team for supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters and for coming and hanging out with me and Jamel. It will be something Jamel will never forget.
