Pins for Kids is a bowling event that benefits Cass County Reading Railroad, a United Way of Cass County Early Childhood Literacy initiative. This is the largest fundraiser for Reading Railroad.

Teams consist of a team captain and four other bowlers. The cost to register a team is $175, which is $35/person. We encourage participants to fundraise to cover their cost.
