How does the bowl-a-thon work?
So you’ve decided to join us in putting the FUN back into FUNdraising. This website makes it easy peazy to fundraise for our fabulous organization by allowing you to personalize your fundraising page and send e-mails to friends and family to support your efforts. There are three ways to get in on the FUN:1) Captain your own bowling teamWhen you captain your own team, you're responsible for finding four to five other bowlers and making sure your team meet its fundraising minimum ($600 for Super Striker shifts & $750 for Premium Pin Shifts). You can name your team, pick your bowling shift time, bowl in costume, and even make up your own cheers! 2) Join an existing teamIf a team captain recruited you to join their team, go through the registration process and register as an individual. Pick your team name from the team drop down menu and consider yourself a bowler. It’s as easy as pie.
Don’t forget: You will be responsible for raising money as a team member. Your team captain will let you know your team’s goal, but every individual is encouraged to raise at least $100.
What if I don’t have a team to join?
Oh, but you do! The PCR Spare Bowlers wants you on their team. If you want to bowl, but don't have a whole team, join fellow volunteers, staff members and supporters on the PCR Spare Bowlers Team. Team members are asked to raise $100 each and the bowling shift is at 4pm.
3) Register as an individual Can’t attend the event this year or you just want to hang out with a beer and skip the bowling part …you can still show your support for PCR by registering as an individual. There is no fundraising minimum - you can raise $10 or $10,000. PRIZES, PRIZES & MORE PRIZES!!!!All individuals and teams are eligible to win fantastic prize give-aways, from spa treatments to dinner and drinks for your whole team. We love to give away prizes!!! We love prizes so much that we give them away leading up to the bowl-a-thon, during and after the event.Most of the prizes are awarded to people who raise the most money; however, because we are prize happy we give away to people who bring in new captains, wear fabulous costumes, have the most donors and even have door prizes for anyone who raised their shift minimum at the event. Sweet! Shift timesPremium Pins – help us make the most of the Bowl-a-thon by bowling at 6:30pm, 7:45pm or 9:00pm. Teams who sign up for these times are required to raise a total of $750 per team (i.e., if there are 6 people on your team, then each bowler would need to raise $125). Super Strikers - these three shifts have a team fundraising goal of $600. Shifts times are 4:00pm, 5:15pm and 10:15pm. Teams who sign up for one of these shifts are required to raise $600 per team (i.e., if there are 6 people on your team, then each bowler would need to raise $100).Register today! The bowl-a-thon Guru will e-mail all captains with a shift confirmation. Team captains are responsible for touching base with their teammates.Have questions? Email the Guru at bowl@birdsandbees.org.
