Four easy steps to help us change lives...
Click "GET STARTED" to begin!
1. Register online - Either as an Individual or get your family, friends or company to form a Team and let the competition begin!
2. Set your goal and begin fundraising - Whether you form a team or bowl solo, each bowler (over age 16) is required raise a minimum of $50 in pledges to participate (i.e., a team of 6 must commit to bringing in at least $300 together, a team of 4 commits to at least $200.) Bowlers under age 16 may also fundraise, but only are required to pay a $15.00 Registration Fee.
3. Create an online fundaising page - Tell how YOUR life has been changed or what Adoption Network Cleveland means to you through words and pictures and invite others close by or far away to help you reach your team or individual goal. Firstgiving makes it easy to share your page with friends via email or Facebook.
4. Bowl and win prizes! - Bring any donations you've gotten off-line and enjoy unlimited bowling (with or without bumpers), shoes, food, music and more. While "winning" a prize is not the goal of fundraising, it's still fun to be rewarded for a job well done. This year you can qualify for great prizes when you or your team reach preset fundraising levels. There will also be a trophy for the person and team who raise the most money!
