Bowl for Kids’ Sake aims to boost mentoring chances

CRYSTAL LAKE – A wavy brown ponytail draping down the back of her long-sleeved purple T-shirt, the 12-year-old lined up, stepped forward and sent a red ball lumbering down the lane.

It was a sixth-frame gutter ball, but the day was far from a miss. Jada was having fun hanging out with her “big sister,” Peggie Wells of Huntley. Sharing time with Wells is something Jada has done most Sundays since she was 7.

Jada’s last name is withheld at the request of Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County.
