Thanks to the incredible support of our community, Bowl Against Abuse 2026 was a huge success, raising critical funds to support our mission.
Thanks to your generosity, Bowl Against Abuse 2026 raised significant funds 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, bowlers, donors, and volunteers for standing with us.
Together, we are striking out abuse and creating a stronger future for the children we serve.

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!
