The Charities

American Eagle Outfitters is again partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters. 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 200 teams in the U.S. and 20 teams across Canada to participate in local Bowl for Kids' Sake events. There is no need to fundraise! Once you have a team approved, the AE Foundation 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?
   • How many people can bowl for a $500 contribution?
   **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. Post the attached document in your stockroom for associates to sign up on. Although the sign up form has 10 spaces, you will need to indicate on the form how many associates can participate. In addition, be sure you write in your area's event date. All associates should be made aware that this is purely a volunteer effort and there is no compensation for participation.
4. Apply to be sponsored — Once you have your team, 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 20 to register you will receive approval to participate.
5. Register — Call the Big Brothers Big Sisters agency in your community to register your team.

Contact your DM or the AE Foundation Bowl for Kids' Sake Intern Janean Gardner x33321 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.
