Bowl for Kids' Sake is a fun, easy and a great way to get kids matched to a mentor!

1. Create a Team: Teams are formed with 5 members. Create a team with family, friends, fraternity brothers, sorority sisters, or co-workers.

2. Raise money: Each bowler is asked to raise a minimum of $100 in donations. Each team raises $500

3. Come bowl: After you have secured your donations, it's time to have fun! You'll receive two free games of bowling (shes & ball rental included!), a Bowl for Kids' Sake t-shirt, and a free pizza for your team. There will also be chances to play contests and win great door prizes!

• Set a realistic goal and a schedule to achieve your desired result

• Create your own fundraising e-mail with images and video, if applicable, that you can send to friends and family asking for donations

• Use social media to communicate the campaign and invite followers to watch, listen and donate

• Create a strong message around your involvement in Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Texas and why giving is Now so IMPORTANT

• Ask friends, family and co-workers for small gifts ($10) and plan your asks so that there is enough time to reach and even exceed your goal

• Invite those you trade with, dry cleaner, doctor, dentist, mechanic and other business you frequent and support to support you in your fundraising

• Thank and showcase via social media all your donors for their gifts, no matter the amount

• Celebrate the ending of the campaign with a party and use the occasion to publicly thank all those who gave to your fundraising campaign

Use your imagination!
