How Does Bowl for Kids’ Sake Work?

  1. Form a 5–6-person team. It’s easiest if there’s a team captain who helps lead the way.
  2. Register for your bowling party. Team Captains set the team up online and let their team members know when to visit the website and join the team. With 9 two-hour parties to choose from across Allegan, Calhoun, Kalamazoo and Van Buren counties, we can’t wait to see you!
  3. Customize and share your fundraising webpage. It’s easy and customized pages raise more money! Just log on, upload a photo, and share your story.
  4. Raise funds for BBBS. By sending an email, text, tweet, posting a Facebook post, or asking a few friends for support, you can make a big difference in the lives of children in your community.
  5. Hit your fundraising goal. Individual fundraising minimum: $75. Just ask for $25 from three friends. Team fundraising minimum: $375-450 (5/6-person team goals). Many teams raise much more than that! Reach Super Team status and get perks!
  6. Bowl and have fun! Show up at your scheduled BFKS party and have a terrific time with your teammates.
