The real contest begins before the event, when team members spread out across the community asking for pledges.
A team is made up of five bowlers, each of whom makes a commitment to raise at least $100 by soliciting pledges from relatives, friends, neighbors and co-workers. All donations are tax deductible. Last year, 175 bowlers on 36 teams raised over $35,000 to support WYFS.
The cost per bowler is $10 and includes three games, shoe rental and a meal. Based on the amount of pledges bowlers obtain, they qualify for team prizes and individual prizes.
Participants also enjoy a raffle featuring dozens of wonderful items from local businesses. There is plenty of room for new teams and individual bowlers. Lane sponsorships are available for $100 ($150 with company logo).
