Fund Raising Idea #13.....Bowling for Bucks....Host a bowling fund raiser.  Talk with a local bowling alley and be sure and tell them what you are doing!  Do not be afraid to ask for a discount in exchange for promoting their business with this event.  Rent several lanes and charge your bowlers a fee to cover that cost and a bit more that will go to your team.  Make this fun, not a hard-core tournament.  Offer certificates or prizes for most strikes, most gutter balls, lowest score.  Ask if you can bring cupcakes or some type of food to sell.  If not, ask if the owner will be willing to donate a small percentage of the money that people spend at the concession stand.  Another element to add.....a raffle.  Ask the bowling alley if they will donate several games of bowling.  Sell raffle tickets for this prize.  There are many things you can do at this event to raise money.....just be creative!  One more idea....have a tournament for kids, or include the kids.  Most bowling alleys have the ability to put in the gutter guards for the little ones and they love it!
