Bowl Against Abuse 2025 was a huge success, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make it happen! Held in April during Child Abuse Awareness Month, this event brought together teams, sponsors, families, and community members for a day filled with fun, connection, and purpose—all in support of children and families impacted by abuse.

Thanks to your generosity, we raised an amazing $25,392.90 to support the Children’s Advocacy Center’s mission. Every dollar raised helps us continue to provide free, trauma-informed services like forensic interviews, therapy referrals, family advocacy, court support, and prevention education across Portage County.

Bowl Against Abuse isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of community, resilience, and the belief that every child deserves safety, healing, and hope. We are so thankful to our sponsors, team captains, bowlers, donors, and volunteers for standing with us.

Together, we are striking out abuse and creating a stronger future for the children we serve.

Get Involved in 2026!
You can be part of Bowl Against Abuse 2026 by becoming a sponsor or forming a bowling team! Sponsors are recognized across multiple platforms—on social media, the CAC website, printed mailers, and banners at the event.

Bowl Against Abuse teams fundraise in the weeks leading up to the event. On event day, teams come together to bowl, participate in raffles, celebrate community, and raise awareness for child abuse prevention. The team that raises the most earns a trophy!

Whether you’re a business, organization, group of friends, or family, we invite you to join us for a fun, meaningful day that makes a real difference.
