NEW! The 2026 Uncorked & Unplugged:
The Power of Mentorship

Experience the power of mentorship as we shine a spotlight on our School-Based Mentoring Program. Through the encouragement of dedicated high school mentors, younger students gain confidence, build resilience, and discover they are never alone. At the same time, these remarkable young mentors are developing the leadership, compassion, and character that will shape the future of our community. Your support makes these life-changing connections possible one meaningful connection at a time.

Bowling for Kids is a CMC fundraising event held each spring.!

Our 43rd annual Bowling for Kids Event was held on April 11 and 12, 2026, at AMF Sportsman Lanes, 616 Trenton Ave., Findlay, OH.
This year’s event featured an America 250 theme, and teams got creative, dressed as their favorite America 250 teams — historical heroes, patriotic pride, or allout
red, white, and blue. Each bowling shift recognized a Theme Winner,
rewarding spirit and your style.
We brought back our Battle Teams — friendly competitions to see which group raises the most funds and earns bragging rights (and the trophy!) for another year. This year’s battles included:
     Battle of the Banks
     Battle of the Brokerages
     Battle of the Dentists
     Battle of the Schools
