After months of preparation, the annual Bowl For Kids Campaign is set for this weekend. The event is the major fundraising effort of the year for Big Brother/Big Sisters of Portage la Prairie. 

Executive Director Dawn Froese says they are quite busy getting the last minute details together, including  signage and prizes. For this year, their fundraising goal is to bring in $18,000 dollars in contributions. For 2011, about 150 people participated in the effort and under $18,000 was brought in.
