The Charities

American Eagle Outfitters is again partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters in 2010. You are invited to participate in Big Brothers Big Sisters signature fundraising and awareness program, Bowl for Kids' Sake. It's a fun-filled day of bowling, games and excitement, all in an effort to raise funds for the many chapters of Big Brothers Big Sisters and help make an impact on the youth in your community.

American Eagle Outfitters will sponsor up to 200 teams in the U.S. and 20 teams across Canada to participate in local Bowl for Kids' Sake events and will provide a $500 donation to your local Big Brothers Big Sisters agency.

How to Participate
Store managers, follow these steps:

1. Find your local chapter — Click here for your local Big Brothers Big Sisters chapter information.
2. Contact your local Big Brothers Big Sisters agency. Ask:
   • When is their Bowl for Kids' Sake?
   • Are you still accepting team registrations?
   **If your local agency does not host Bowl for Kids' Sake, ask if there is another event in which your store associates can participate.
3. Rally the troops — See if your store has enough associates interested to make up a team. You need to get 5 store associates to participate. All associates should be made aware that this is purely a volunteer effort and there is no compensation for participation. If you don't have enough interested participants from your store, you can ask another AE store if they have any Associates interested in bowling on your team.
4. Apply to be sponsored — Once you have 5 associates who want to take part, click here and complete the Bowl for Kids' Sake application. Your team should be comprised of AE associates only.
   • The AE Foundation will then contact you regarding this event. If your team was one of the first 220 to register you will receive approval to participate.
5. Once your team has been approved, the AE Foundation will fax your completed Bowl For Kids Sake application to your local agency to register your team. You will then receive a phone call from the local Big Brothers Big Sister agency confirming your bowling date, location and time.

Contact your DM or the AE Foundation Bowl for Kids' Sake Intern Drew Zimmerman x33537 with any additional questions.

Note: The AE Foundation can only provide one $500 donation per store. Only the first 220 stores to sign up are eligible to receive this donation for participation.
