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 Sponsor Sheet and needs to get as many 
              sponsors as possible. You can register and create your own PERSONAL
              WEBPAGE to request pleges online at:

www.bluegrassBFKS2009.kintera.org

               This is an easy and economical way to get pledges, you can even get 
               
pledges while you sleep. Each bowler that gets $75 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 dont forget those people you've bout from in the past year...Girl
               Scout Cookies, School/Band Fundraisers-and all those people who
               sponsored you last year!

               USE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK and our templates for online
               requests! Sign up and create your webpage at:
               www.bluegrassBFKS2009.kintera.org

                    Set an ambitoius online 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.)

                    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 county 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. Each bowler should bring their completed pledge
            sheet, a printout of any online donations, and any money/checks 
            collected.

            Enjoy free Arby's sandwiches, free soft drinks, and free Little Ceasar's
            pizza. Bowl one free game (shoes included) and get a chance to win a 
            great door prize!
