To participate form a team of five persons (including a team captain) and pick a time and date to bowl. Participants collect pledges from friends, family, co-workers, organizations and business before their bowling date. Teams turn in their sponsor sheets and any money collected on the day they bowl. Big Brothers Big Sisters will collect any unpaid pledges, so bowlers will not have to go back to their sponsors to collect pledges.
A minimum of $75 in pledges per bowler is required to bowl.
Bowlers that raise $100 in pledges will receive a T-shirt.
