Bowling for Bucks

Overall Cost: $$
Complexity: 3

Coordinate with a bowling alley to rent a group of lanes — or the entire building if you know you’ll have a lot of participants — and sign up teams. Participants can raise pledges per pin, games bowled, scores, or just raise donations in general.

Things to Consider

  • CHALLENGES TO CONSIDER: Renting lanes at a bowling alley can be costly.
  • Reach out early to see if you can get a discounted rate for booking multiple lanes or the entire space.
  • THE BEST TIME TO DO THIS: Anytime
  • SPONSORING OR PARTNERING ORGANIZATION: The bowling alley, of course!
