Good Times for a Great Cause!

CMC programs are offered at no cost to the youth and families enrolled in our programs. The generosity of our community allows this to be possible. Lots of events take place throughout the year. For the latest schedules and details, see the CMC Facebook Page.

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

  • Our 43rd annual Bowling for Kids Event will be April 11 and 12, 2026, at AMF Sportsman Lanes, 616 Trenton Ave., Findlay, OH.
  • This year’s event features an America 250 theme, and teams are encouraged to get creative!
    Come dressed as your favorite America 250 team — think historical heroes, patriotic pride, or allout
    red, white, and blue. To keep the fun going, each bowling shift will recognize a Theme Winner,
    so bring your spirit and your style.
  • We’re also excited to bring 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 include:
         Battle of the Banks
         Battle of the Brokerages
         Battle of the Dentists
         Battle of the Schools
  • Register to bowl, register your team or become a sponsor or donor by following this link.
