You are an important part of making this years Bowl For Kids' Sake a Big Success...for the Children!
Here is how it works….
Step 1-Get a Team!
Get 4-5 of your friends, co-workers, family, etc. together to be a bowling team.
Step 2-Get Excited!
Get excited about raising money for Kids! Bowl for Kids’ Sake is Big Brothers Big Sister largest fundraiser. All money raised goes to help match a child with a mentor who can be their friend.
Step 3-Get Sponsors!
Each team member needs a pledge sheet and needs to get as many sponsors as possible.
Each bowler that gets $100 dollars in pledges will receive a commemorative BFKS t-shirt.
Over the next few weeks you will see plenty of potential sponsors. It’s easy to fill the sheet if you remember to ask! Here are some ideas of people to ask:
| Doctor |
Mechanic |
Baker |
| Dentist |
Florist |
Grocer |
| Jeweler |
Vet |
Attorney |
| Avon Rep |
Hair Stylist |
CPA |
And don't forget those people you've bought from in the past year...cookie dough, gift wrap, spirit cards, or other fundraisers... and all those people who sponsored you last year!
USE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK TO REQUEST PLEDGES!
Set an ambitious on line goal to challenge your sponsors. More
money means more children matched with a mentor!
Make the first sponsor listed on your pledge sheet a higher pledge
(ie: $10 or more). Those pledging next usually "follow-the-leader".
(minimum pledge should be $5.00 if pledge is to be billed.)
Increase your pledge by asking your sponsors if they have a matching
gifts program for non-profit organizations at their company.
Step 4-Sign Up Your Team!
Contact the BBBS office in your area to sign-up your team for a day and time to bowl--Times fill up fast so call early!!!
Step 5-Have Fun Bowling!
Arrive at the bowling center 15 minutes before your scheduled time to bowl and check in at the designated BFKS Registration area. Each bowler should bring their completed pledge sheet and any money/checks collected.
Enjoy free soft drinks, and free Little Ceasar's pizza. Bowl one free game (shoes included)!
Take a Step...
Make A Big Difference In A Child's Life!
