Big Brothers Big Sister’s Bowl for Kid’s Sake
Although Diamond employees were competing at the bowling lanes, it was all for a good cause. Bowl For Kids’ Sake is an annual event where about half a million people across America come together to have fun and raise money to support Big Brothers Big Sisters. Diamond had five teams that were able to raise over $2,000 to support Berks County youth.
