Here's the Plan...

OPTION # 1    50/50

When a group indicates they need between $300 and $1000, the 50/50 party may be the best and easiest to conduct. They are great for Little League, Parent/Teacher Associations (PTA), Hockey Teams and Schools Groups. Establish a date, time and prices to be charged and what menu of items will be included at the event.

Example: You want $7.50 from each bowler to cover the cost of their bowling. If you sell the tickets for $15.00 you make a profit of $7.50 for your organization. An event with 60 participants will make your organization $450.00 not including a raffle which is highly recommended.

OPTION # 2   BOWL-A-THON

When a group or organization wants to raise $3000, $5000 or $25,000 or more, the best format is the Bowl-A-Thon. It will only work with organizations that have lots of movers and shakers. A Bowl-A-Thon is where individuals get pledges from family, friends and co-workers to support their cause. Typically, in a bowl-a-thon the average amout of pledges per person is over $100.

EXAMPLE BOWL-A-THON EVENT

$15,000 net in one afternoon !

32 x 6 = 192 bowlers x $100 = $19,200
PLUS  sponsorship or$20.00 x 32 lanes = $640.00

Total raised = $18,840

Expenses: bowling, rental shoes, food, prizes, taxes, entertainment Approximately $2,500.00

NET PROFIT $27,600

This is an 82% return on your dollar not including raffles or auctions!

OPTION # 3

 CORPORATE LANE SELL

The Corporate Lane Sell can be used in conjunction with any type of fundraiser. The way it works is committee members sell lanes to corporations and the corporation can send 6 of their employees out to represent the company. The corporation gets a tax receipt and gets to reward 6 employees for their hard work. Ordinarily, corporate lane sells are sold for $100, $200, $500 and even $1000.A fund raiser with 12 lanes can make an extra $6000 for their cause. (12 lanes @ $500 = $6000)
