Bowlers

Pledges raised support Big Brothers mentoring programs. Bowlers are asked to raise a minimum $50 each and only need to raise $150 to earn an incentive prize. It’s easy. Just be creative and have fun. Here are some ideas to help you get started right away?

  • Start collecting early
  • Collect pledges online
  • Double your pledges by asking your company to match what you raise. Click here (PDF 89KB) for more info.
  • Email your online pledge form to everyone (colleagues, clients, friends and family) you know
  • Send fun emails from your personal online pledging page
  • Carry your pledge book wherever you go
  • Hold a tropical fundraising event in your office every Friday
  • Sell 50/50 tickets or raffle off the boss’ parking space for a day
  • Keep a collection coconut on your desk
  • Gather donations and put together a theme basket for raffle, including Jamaican Rum, sunglasses or a Loveboat DVD box set
  • Challenge co-workers or other departments to raise the most pledges
  • Set a company goal, publicize it and keep the office informed on the progress
