First Time Bowlers

Steps for 1st time Bowl for Kids Sake Participants

  1. Ask your family and friends if they want to bowl. Everyone is welcome.  Teams can be up to 6 people of all ages.  Think of a team name.
  2. Sign up with Big Brothers Big Sisters by calling 519-271-7133.
  3. Get your pledge forms.
  4. Ask everyone you know if they will sponsor you for bowling.
    Suggestions for asking:
    *        Hi, I’m bowling for Big Brothers Big Sisters and would love for you to sponsor me.
    *        Sometimes you get asked “WHY?”
    Answer: The funds that they raise go to programs that help children in the district who benefit from having a positive adult mentor in their lives.
  5. We ask that each bowler strive to raise $100.00 in pledges.  We require that each bowler raise $50 to participate.  This covers the cost of your bowling, shoes, pizza and pop, and bowler gift. 
  6. Collect all the information for your sponsors – complete mailing addresses are important – and their pledge amount.  Record all their information on the pledge sheet.  Remember to write clearly so that we can read the names and addresses for tax receipts.
  7. Try to get as many people as you can to sponsor you for the bowling event.
  8. Bring the forms and money with you when you come to bowl.
  9. Arrive at the bowling lanes 15 to 30 minutes early to get registered and pick up your shoes.
  10. Be ready to have fun while bowling and maybe even win a prize!
